It all begins with an idea to bring dance to the community

The inaugural MOVE St. Petersburg Dance Festival brings the art of dance into public spaces by creating new spaces in existing infrastructures, sparking dialogue, and unifying our community where every BODY can dance and move. This new festival reflects the creative and vibrant nature of  St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay area. By using public parks, art galleries, hotel lobbies, and more as the stage,  MOVE transforms our shared public spaces into performative galleries featuring renowned contemporary local, national, and international artists.

Supported by the University of South Florida, the Studio@620, and the Mahaffey Theater.
