Join us for MA Dance Fest 2025, a vibrant celebration of innovation, research, and performance from the University of Salford’s MA Dance programmes.

This three-day festival showcases emergent independent creative work from our choreographers, educators, and performers—offering a rich mix of live performances, lecture demonstrations, films, and installations. Each piece explores themes including culture, place and identity, dance and sustainability, improvisation, joy, representation, and age—reflecting the diverse research interests of our postgraduate community.

Whether you attend for one day or all three, you’ll be immersed in cutting-edge dance discourse and witness the future of dance unfold in our state-of-the-art New Adelphi Building.
