ABOUT DANCE FEST 2025 Nō Studios is thrilled to partner with The Marcus Performing Arts Center and NYC’s Joyce Theater to bring Dance Fest 2025 to Milwaukee. The combined performance is curated by Morgan Williams.

Dance Fest is now a national experience featuring Milwaukee area dance companies alongside important companies from Madison, Detroit, Chicago, New York and Missouri.
