Dance Now, Tampa City Ballet’s Annual Multicultural Dance Festival, is set to captivate the Tampa Bay community. Curated by Paula Nunez, this immersive event celebrates the diversity of dance styles within the region and aims to create meaningful interactions amongst artists and audiences alike. This unique experience will take place on Sunday, March 15, 2026 at 4:00 PM at Water Works Park.

Dance Now is an exceptional theatrical platform which incorporates and embraces local dance organizations, choreographers and dancers, all collaborating to entertain and inform audiences about an exciting mix of cultures and their expressions.

With the support of local organizations, funded in part by the Hillsborough Arts Council Cultural Development Program and the endorsement of Visit Tampa Bay, Dance Now aims to bring an evening of festivities, complete with food trucks and crafts vendors.

This event is FREE to the community, graciously sponsored by TCB patrons.

Feel free to bring your own chair or a blanket!
