The NuVu Festival’s mission is to promote young, mid-career and established dance artists by sharing their craft and having the chance to learn, meet and share the stage together. Founded from the belief that we learn new things from old teachings, the festival provides artists the opportunity to inspire each other and for audiences to experience a variety of dance expressions.
We are thrilled to invite artists and audiences alike to the 2023 NuVu Festival after being postponed by the pandemic.
Artists for 2023

Michelle Thompson Ulerich

*Sadly, the dance community experienced a tremendous loss with the passing of Nai-Ni Chen in 2021 at the age of 62. The 2023 NuVu Festival will honor her memory and her contributions to the dance world.
