Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation
July 11 – August 8, 2027
The Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation (SFD+I) is a vibrant month-long immersion in the Seattle dance community, presented by Velocity Dance Center. Each summer, dancers, choreographers, and improvisers gather to train, make work, and perform together with local and national faculty experimenting at the leading edge of dance technique, creative practice, and improvisation. Choose a performance cohort that fits your level, spend the whole month with the Ultimate SFD+I, or join us for the RESEARCH Week.
