Casa de Danza

Casa de Danza celebrates Día de Muertos through immersive dance festivals, connecting memory and ancestry with contemporary expression. We support Latin artists, fostering creativity and community engagement in unique performance spaces.

A one-of-a-kind dance festival, performed in unique spaces that bring the Mexican traditions to life in unexpected ways. Welcome to the beautiful world of D&iacute;a de Muertos!At the heart of everything we do is D&iacute;a de Muertos (DDM) &mdash; a one-of-a-kind dance festival that celebrates Mexico&#39;s Day of the Dead, performed in unique spaces that bring the experience to life in unexpected ways.&nbsp; Casa De Danza is led by Artistic Director Sarah&iacute; Cardenas. Over the years, the festival has grown into something truly special. We bring together Latin artists for residencies, commissions, and live performances &mdash; all built around two simple but powerful questions:&nbsp; What does D&iacute;a de Muertos mean to you?&nbsp;How can dance connect memory, ancestry, and the world we live in today?
