Description: For three or four weekends in June, this festival annually presents an eclectic program of traditional dances from around the world staged by the leading performers in each discipline. It is run by World Arts West, whose mission is to nurture and preserve the best of ethnic dance for a world audience. Whirling dervishes follow Flamenco dancers who follow Balinese temple dancers. The incredible diversity is matched only by the exuberance of both the performers and the audience. Even for long-time attendees, there is always something new to learn and to see. Tryouts for this amazing show take place over three days in January and not only is the public encouraged to attend, it is free! At the Palace of Fine Arts.
