The quintessentially Austin Dance Carousel gets bigger, continuing its annual dance celebration with a thrilling roster of choreographers—this year adding two more per program for a total of 24 dance makers for the 2026 performances. Each choreographer will create 4 one-minute dances that will be shown in a round, amounting to 48 minutes of dance — humorous, poignant, virtuosic, pensive, and sometimes deliciously subversive.
Two different programs, Carousel A on Wednesday, October 7th and Friday, October 9th and Carousel B on Thursday, October 8th and Saturday, October 10th will each showcase the work of twelve—formerly ten— different choreographers.
