In 1996, "Yokohama Dance Collection" was started to nurture young choreographers and popularize contemporary dance in Japan. In 2005, its tenth year, the festival shifted focus to building a market for dance, to bring news of Asian choreographers to the wider world. With that transformation, it was relaunched as "Yokohama Dance Collection R". Over the past fifteen years, this annual dance festival has steadily delivered results towards reaching all its goals.
The Festival has been restarted as "Yokohama Dance Collection EX" since 2011 to set our sights even higher, to aim, as an established force in the world of dance, to make even greater contributions to the development of the global dance scene.
Exchange, EXplore, EXtension, EXhibition and EXpression, ー through them, this annual Festival will attract people involved in dance from throughout the world and create exciting, excellent opportunities to share meaningful experiences together. A positive formula for excellence: that’s EX.
