Fall Forward Festival

Fall Forward Festival is a presentation and celebration of Twin Cities dance, both the perennial companies who define us, and the newest voices in our community. The festival includes performances, educational experiences, and community engagement activations.

Fall Forward Festival was originally the brainchild of The Cowles Center, and is now under the helm of Hothouse Studios. Hothouse believes in the robust local dance community, and our endless potential to create work that challenges and entertains audiences.
