August 4 - 9, 2024 | Tampa, FL

The International Adult Ballet Festival is a ballet retreat, showcase and competition for passionate adult ballet dancers.

At IABF, dancers live their ideal ballet lifestyle, waking up, dancing all day, and sharing their deep passion for ballet with like-minded adult dancers.

At the end of the week, dancers showcase their hard work on stage and leave with a heart full of inspiration for another year of ballet.

What dancers had to say

  • I got to live out my ideal daily routine- roll out of bed, go eat breakfast and drink coffee with other dancers, take a wonderful array of classes, and rehearse! I went to bed each night with a huge smile on my face.

    Jessica

  • I was most nervous about not fitting in. It turned out IABF was one of the most welcoming and inclusive environments I've ever been a part of. I made dance friends from across the world. I was celebrated, and I celebrated others! I felt it deep in my bones that I belonged.

    Kelsey

  • It was amazing! All the dancers were so supportive. Each time someone would come back in the dressing room after performing there piece there would be cheers from the others, high fives, hugs, words of encouragement etc. It was the most supportive and uplifting experience.

    Erica

  • I was so fulfilled by the friendships, support, conversations, laughter, shenanigans and more. It was truly inspiring to see everyone perform and to "feel" their love for ballet. It radiated out from each and every dancer and touched us in the audience. Tears were flowing everywhere I looked.

    Anne

  • The planning that went into designing IABF was excellent. The event exceeded my expectations. We were treated like royalty. The ballet classes were top notch and the classroom sessions were appropriate and helpful.

Join like-minded Passionate Adult Ballet Dancers

Sometimes we are in class with kids or the only adult dancer in our small town, or worse, there may not even be ballet classes offered!

But, the truth is, there is an incredible, growing community of passionate adult dancers just like you who:

  • take ballet seriously

  • want to reach high levels of technique

  • live and breathe ballet

  • want to take their love of ballet further
