About this event
World Dance Festival 2025 is a vibrant four-day celebration of global dance styles, taking place August 7–10 at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. Spread across workshops, showcases, performances, and evening socials, the festival invites dancers of all levels—from curious beginners to seasoned professionals—to connect, learn, and celebrate dance in its many forms.
Participants can explore diverse workshop tracks featuring salsa, bachata, Afro-Cuban, urban, kizomba, zouk, and more, led by internationally acclaimed artists and instructors. Daytime sessions include masterful technique training, musicality, and partner connection, while evenings come alive with electrifying social parties and live performances featuring guest DJs.
Performers—from solo competitors to dynamic teams—are invited to showcase their talent on stage. Performances must adhere to the festival’s guidelines (1.5–2.5 minutes for solos/couples, up to 3.5 minutes for teams), ensuring polished, unforgettable routines. Teams and solo artists can register now, with full performer passes ranging from $99 (early-bird) to $149 before August.
Beyond workshops and performances, WDF offers vendor booths, themed nightly parties, and a community-first code of conduct—promoting respect, consent, and inclusion throughout the event. Full passes grant access to four days of dance and festivities, with VIP upgrades offering priority benefits and merch perks.
