The Ground UP Dance Festival
About
The Ground UP Dance Festival
Launched in Summer of 2022, and has acted as the first annual festival for professional dance in Kingston, Ontario.
Each year the festival is expanding... You can expect more shows, more workshops, and more opportunities for artists to get involved, all while taking up more space in YGK.
The Ground UP Dance Festival was founded through the artists of Movement Market Collective, a group of professional dance artists, coming together to support and create opportunities towards local, professional dance in Kingston. The collective focused on building community, exposing dance as it’s own art form and celebrating the possibilities of movement through amateur, youth and professionals alike. Through it’s pop-up events, workshops and professional performances, the group realized what was missing was a producton platform geared to dance in Kingston.
