Vail International Dance Festival
The Vail Valley Foundation began to explore and expand its programming concepts in 1989. A four week summer academy named the Bolshoi academy was introduced in 1990 for the American students. Once the course is completed, four American students were allowed to study for a semester at the Bolshoi Academy, Moscow. In 1992, Katherine Kersten was engage a dance professional to direct and develop the project.

In 1993, the first International Evenings of Dance was created which featured couples representing international dance companies. Some of the world’s most popular dancers started performing in this event. Vail International Dance Festival was introduced in 1994. The 2010 Vail International Dance Festival will be held from July 27th till August 10th.
