KEIGWIN + COMPANY returns to Vail Dance Festival with an electrifying dance party where Vail Valley residents take center stage.

Whether you’re a dancer or you simply dance in the privacy of your living room, join us! ALL are welcome. Known for our electrifying work and dynamic community dances, KEIGWIN + COMPANY will enliven Vail Dance Festival’s Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater with a brand-new version of Rhapsody, developed by and in community, featuring dancers and non-dancers, young and old alike.
