The Light We Move Toward: When the World Darkens, We Dance.

Saturday, October 3, 2026
Bath House Cultural Center | Dallas, TX

Experience an evening where dance, film, and immersive art come together. Journey through live performances, interactive installations, projection, music, and award-winning international dance films in a one-of-a-kind festival experience.

What is Dance Film?
Dance film is the fusion of choreography and cinema, where movement, camera, editing, and sound work together to create an experience that can't exist on stage alone. At NBFF, we celebrate dance films that push artistic boundaries, embrace innovation, and imagine new possibilities for the future of dance. Say NO to the BOX and YES to the Future of Dance.
