VelocityDC Dance Festival

The VelocityDC Dance Festival blossomed on the DC arts scene in 2009.  It has since become an annual event produced by its founding consortium of leading arts organizations in the Washington, DC region, including the Washington Performing Arts Society, the Shakespeare Theatre Company and Dance Metro DC.

Modeled after the successful “Fall for Dance” festival in New York City, VelocityDC features world-class dance companies and artists- primarily home-grown in the metro DC region -  presented in a fast-paced gala format, with dramatically reduced ticket prices.

VelocityDC has been made possible through the generous support of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, and members of the VelocityDC Founders Circle. Capitol Hotels & Suites is the official hotel of VelocityDC.
