The story

National Dance Festival Bangladesh in Dhaka

A two-day, multi-troupe dance festival at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka, timed around International Dance Day, bringing dozens of Bangladeshi companies together for short classical, folk and contemporary pieces. A fast-moving, wide-survey introduction to the national dance scene rather than a single showcase performance by one company.

Bangladesh's national dance festival compresses roughly fifty dance troupes and more than 600 performers into two days at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka, timed around International Dance Day in late April.
