Why “Indie”?

Because independent dance deserves a spotlight.
DIDF uplifts the voices that are not typically heard — choreographers working outside of major organizations, artists self-producing on shoestring budgets, visionaries developing work in studios, garages, and community spaces.

This festival is about visibility, connection, and honoring the rich mosaic of dance that thrives across Dallas.

Set in the Norma Young Arena Stage at Theatre Three, DIDF invites audiences into an immersive, in-the-round experience where every seat offers a new perspective—and every piece reveals a different facet of the city’s artistic landscape.

There’s nothing else like this in Dallas.
Austin has Austin Dance Festival. Houston has Barnstorm. Now, Dallas has DIDF.

Come witness the creativity that moves this city.

Special thanks to Theatre Three for making this inaugural festival possible. Their generosity and partnership have created space—literally and figuratively—for this bold new gathering to take root.
