In this current year also , we invite you to the largest and most colorful dance festival in Israel. Ashdod Dance continues the wonderful tradition and brings to the stage dancers of all ages, from all over the country, and from all styles, alongside Israel's biggest stars.

The harsh reality that has been imposed on us since the Black Sabbath of October 7, and the enormity of painful news that has come since then, has caused the entire festival team to carefully examine our work, adjust it, and make every effort to bring something soothing to the great pain that we are experiencing as a society.

This year's festival program looks directly at the wounds and the pain, and seeks to create beauty and a sense of renewal and rebirth from them.

The performances that we created and curated for Ashdodance 2025 highlight the good that we share, and celebrate our strength and determination to be a people living in peace in our country. This year, our stages will spotlight dancers alongside huge stars, exciting and unique tribute performances alongside colorful performances, and above all – joining us in movement towards a strong and beneficial future.

Come to Ashdod. Come dance!

Artistic Director and Founder of the Festival: Avi Levy | Chief Producer: Art Production
