A week celebrating the breadth and depth of dance in Houston and beyond!

Join Dance Source Houston (DSH) for a week filled with dance during the return of Barnstorm Dance Fest , happening June 6-12 at Midtown Arts & Theatre Center Houston (MATCH)! Barnstorm showcases the breadth, depth and vibrancy of dance in Houston and provides audiences with an exciting sampling of dance genres. The festival includes four unique programs, three featuring live performance works and one offering a new-to-Barnstorm dance on film format. This year's Barnstorm programs were curated by Alexa Capareda, Ashley DeHoyos, and Lindsay Gary. Each program will be presented twice during the week-long and the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday shows will all be followed by facilitated artist talks to offer insight into the dance works. Dance Source Houston is thrilled to bring back Barnstorm Dance Fest, featuring dance makers from Houston and beyond, after a two-year hiatus.
