Artistic Director Damian Woetzel celebrates his 10th anniversary leading the Festival with a unique UpClose rehearsal-style performance, focusing on the artists who make Vail their collaborative home every summer. Featuring a range of dancers including Artists-In-Residence Tiler Peck, Carla Körbes, Lil Buck, Robert Fairchild and 2016’s addition to that growing team, Isabella Boylston. With live music by New York City Ballet and Vail Dance Festival Principal Pianist, Cameron Grant.

Tickets are $50 – $150 and are based on availability. The UpClose performance is a fundraising evening where a portion of all tickets sold benefit the Vail International Dance Festival. The performance will be followed by an exclusive artist dinner at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. $200 dinner tickets may be purchased through the box office.
