Dance Festival Malta

Dance Festival Malta (DFM) originated as a private initiative by three dance practitioners who wished to develop an annual dance platform aimed at providing opportunities for local and international artists to showcase their work and expose local audiences to original dance works.

The festival will present live performances of different dance styles which dovetail with contemporary dance and dance theatre. Through the festival, the team hopes to ignite a new interest amongst potential audiences and therefore inspire more people to attend dance performance in all of its forms. This will be done by sparking a greater curiosity and interest towards understanding the world of dance, dance making and dance appreciation within the festival’s audiences bearing in mind humans’ need to dance and to use dance as a form of expression which unites communities.
