And now on to Dubai, for the 4th International Dance Festival. The event brings together dance enthusiasts, instructors, performers and audiences from around the world and promotes dance as a pastime in the Middle East.

Dancers and dance enthusiasts from over 20 different countries boogie up a storm at the 4th International Dance Festival in Dubai, which wrapped up last week.

According to this dance fan, the festival is a great opportunity for the diverse global dance community to get together and share their passion with audiences.

“It’s amazing because it not only joins different people together but it also gathers amazing performances at one place, so you can really have in 2 days, in 3 days the opportunity to learn a lot of different things, which I think is really, really great.”

Besides having an educational component, this year’s festival is abuzz with creative activity. On the agenda are multi-discipline artistic collaborations with organizations throughout the entire world.

This dance teacher believes the dance festival will benefit the artistic community in Dubai.

[Francisco Bolivar, Dance Teacher]: (English, male)
“Events like we have today in Dubai are going to make the future of Dubai with the artists and dance much better, not only [in terms of] dance, but also music, theater and different types of art that we have.“

According to this enthusiast, more should be done to promote dance among residents of Dubai.

[Sara Vuletic]: (female, English)
“I haven’t actually encountered many (local people) here in the Emirates maybe because it is not very well advertised, so I think that dancing in Dubai should be more advertised to the local people also and I’m sure that they will really love it.”
