About Birmingham International Dance Festival

Welcome to Birmingham International Dance Festival 2018!

We're delighted to be back with our sixth festival, from 1 - 24 June, presenting fantastic dance in Birmingham's theatres and taking over the city's streets and squares with show-stopping free performances.

Inspired by themes of imagination, body, mindfulness, and digital art, we're showcasing great choreography and opening up new and surprising ways for you to experience dance.

We'll be getting the city moving with a host of events and activities - including an early morning rave, social dance, mass participation events, family-friendly activities, freestyle fusion, and immersive Virtual Reality experiences. There are more ways than ever for you to get involved!

Join us for an unforgettable dance experience!

BIDF is produced by DanceXchange.

To Da Bone / (La) Horde

Jumpstyle is the flame burning within us all. It's a dance that expresses emotion, feelings, and passion. Today, people talk about Ownstyle, since everyone has their own style. We all have our own tricks, techniques, and performance methods. That makes all of us special. It's... Jumpstyle.
