Dance Astoria: Call for Queens-Based Choreographers

December 7

Dance Astoria is seeking Queens-based choreographers for our 2027 winter festival. This dance festival will be held indoors at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, in Astoria, NY. The festival will take place from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on Sunday, February 7, 2026. Each year, the dancers and choreographers of all ages blow us away with their artistry and profound work, and we can’t wait to kick off the new year with the amazing talent that Queens has to offer!

Queens residents are encouraged to submit choreography from all styles of dance including contemporary, classical, and cultural dance forms. We take pride in the diversity of dance that is presented each year at Dance Astoria. Some of the styles we have seen include tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, contemporary, and a variety of cultural dances.

ELIGIBILITY

We welcome work from Queens-based choreographers in all styles of dance. Dance Astoria takes pride in showcasing diversity in movement — past festivals have featured tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, modern, cultural dances, and more.

Submitting choreographers must have a meaningful connection to the Queens dance community (residency, choreography, training, or teaching).
Deadline: December 7, 2026
