WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE VAIL INTERNATIONAL DANCE FESTIVAL:
“Vail…a summer destination for dance lovers.” The New York Times
“This year the diversity in dance and people, and the excitement of seeing people we all watch on tv live made me want to come! We had a great time and I hope that the VVF will continue to bring young, fresh, new dancers, and celebrate all styles of dance.” Rachel Nelson, Vail local
“This year was our favorite year at the dance festival. The variety of artists were amazing….I have been attending the dance festival for more than 13 years and this year the new Dace TV night was one of my favorites. I am hopeful you will continue this new performance and make it a tradition.” Dr. Susan Vickerman, local Vail Valley Resident
