Now in its 18th year, this festival continues to showcase some of the most compelling voices in the field, a press release explained.

Curated by a panel of national adjudicators, the 2025 event features innovative works by 15 choreographers and filmmakers, brought to life by over 50 performers from Arizona and across the country.

The 2025 Breaking Ground Contemporary Dance Festival will take place on Jan. 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Tempe Center for the Arts. 

Each evening begins with a free Community Movement Class in the TCA Lobby from 6 to 6:30 p.m. And from 7 to 7:30 p.m., enjoy free pre-show screenings presented in collaboration with the AZ Dance Film Festival in TCA’s East Breezeway.

Following the theater performances, audiences will have the chance to engage directly with the artists during Q&A sessions, according to the release. With a fresh lineup of choreographers and performers showcased each evening, the festival offers a dynamic and unique experience every night.
