Festival Quartiers Danses

The Festival Quartiers Danses (FQD) takes as its mission to democratize contemporary dance and bring it to spaces in which it is not normally found: streets, parks, public markets, museums, daycares, and community organizations. It is the annual rendezvous for contemporary dance both on stage and in an urban context. 

Ten days of festival, 24 performances at the Place des Arts, 27 outdoor performances throughout Montréal neighbourhoods, and three screenings of short films on dance at the Cinémathèque québécoise. For those wanting to dance along with festival artists, workshops are offered outside for free and in studios, open to all!
