Welcome to Nations

In 1993, the year Nations begin, the mission was to identify the rich cultural heritage of ethnic dance in our region and present these traditional art forms on a professional stage for a wide audience to enjoy.  Twenty-one years later that mission remains the same.

From a brilliant tango, to a Bollywood extravaganza, Nations will showcase 32 dance companies with over 300 dancers and musicians in 2015 in honor of Nations' 22nd anniversary year. The audience will again have the opportunity to travel the world in the comfort of  the historic Spreckels Theater in downtown San Diego during the festival weekend. 

It is a privilege to bring Nations to the stage each year.  Please join the exceitment of the 22nd anniversary of Nations, full of music, movement, and beauty, presented in downtown San Diego.

See you in March, 2015!

Kevin Charles Patterson, Nations Dance Festival Producer/Director
