THE LAST DANCE FOR BIDF 💔
We are sad to announce that 2022 was the last edition of Birmingham International Dance Festival due to the removal of Birmingham City Council funding.
We say goodbye to our signature dance festival after 15 years, which took place across Birmingham’s theatres, squares and parks.
We’re so incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved- and extend our heartfelt thanks to audiences, artists, staff and partners who have worked with us over the years 🫶
