Kolkata International Dance Festival
Kolkata International Dance Festival
The Kolkata International Dance Festival is an annual festival that takes place between October and December each year. Started in 2014 by dancer, choreographer and independent filmmaker Sandipan Mondal, it showcases performances by young talents alongside renowned artists. In an effort to support up-and-coming dancers, the festival is preceded by workshops conducted by renowned artists. These workshops then culminate in a final performance by the teachers and students at the festival.
While the Kolkata International Dance Festival did not take place in 2020 owing to the pandemic, 2021 saw it take the form of an online dance exhibition that saw participation from around the world. KIDF are thrilled to announce guest performances and special presentations by Aloka Kanongo and Rajdeep Banerjee, Sayanee Chavda. The festival is set to take place from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and we are excited to provide a platform for artists to express their creativity and celebrate the beauty of Indian classical dance.
