The inspireDANCE Festival grew out of a simple idea to find a way to connect student dancers with each other, with the Program of Dance and Movement and with the larger dance community in the Rochester area. With well over 1000 students involved in dance and movement groups and classes on the University of Rochester campus today, along with several other excellent local university dance programs and a cohesive community of professional dancers in the Rochester area,

The inspireDANCE Festival is made possible through the generous support of the Program of Dance and Movement, Dean of the College, Office for Faculty Development and Diversity, Ain Center for Entrepreneurship, Office of Admissions, and the Frederick Douglass Institute.
