SPRINGMOVES DANCE FESTIVAL
What is SpringMoves Dance Festival?
It is an energetic celebration for dance in Wexford, centered around the National Opera House and moving out onto the streets of Wexford Town!
The festival is an opportunity for Wexford locals to engage with national and international dance artists and companies and to discover new dance in our communities. SMDF is a resource for professional dance artists and dance practitioners and a meeting place for creative research and collaboration.
