A defining Vail tradition since 1993, International Evenings of Dance are legendary for their glittery celebration of artistic collaboration with unique “only in Vail” partnerships and role debuts by a selection of today’s dance stars from around the world. The schedule will include three different International Evenings.
Casting and repertory are subject to change. Not all listed artists appear on all International Evenings performances.
