Edition 2026 — Blois Danse
The 7th edition of the Blois International Choreographic Festival (Blois Danse) takes place from July 3 to 10, 2026, in Blois. For this edition, the festival adopts a new format that invests locations not dedicated to dance — from the Château Royal to the Campus de la Providence — with performances, short film screenings, workshops, and courses bringing together artists from Japan, China, France, Germany, and Spain.
7th Edition — July 3 to 10, 2026
