🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Behind the Barre has a new home! ❤️

Capital Dance Project’s 12th annual Behind the Barre Outdoor Festival is moving to CLARA in Midtown!

📅 NEW DATES: Thursday, September 3 & Friday, September 4

📍 CLARA | 2420 N Street, Sacramento
📅 Thursday, September 3 & Friday, September 4
🚪 Doors + festival activities: 6:30 PM
💃 Performance: 8:00 PM

Due to unexpected site-specific permitting limitations at our original location, we are no longer able to present this year’s festival at The Red Museum as planned.

We are immensely grateful to @_the_red_museum_ and the artists who call it home. Over the past three years, their generosity and partnership helped Behind the Barre grow into the full outdoor festival it is today, giving us the space to dream bigger and bring more artists into the experience. The Red Museum will always be an important part of Behind the Barre’s story. ❤️

We are also incredibly grateful to @claramidtown for welcoming us on short notice and allowing us to preserve the heart of the festival: world-premiere dance, local artist collaborations, our full Maker’s Market, food and drinks, and the outdoor experience we had planned. As home to an extraordinary community of Sacramento artists and arts organizations, we’re so excited to transform the space and share this year’s festival with you there!

🎟 Existing ticket holders have been emailed directly with information about the date change and ticket options.

This wasn’t a change we anticipated making so close to the festival, and we are incredibly grateful for the community that has helped make it possible.

Thank you for continuing to show up for local artists and original work. We cannot wait to welcome you to Behind the Barre’s new home. ❤️

Learn more, view our new site map, and purchase tickets at the link in bio!

A special shoutout to our incredible wardrobe team! ❤️

They spent 8 hours cataloging, sorting, and organizing 12 years of Capital Dance Project costumes — over 350 costume pieces! 👗🩰

Everything is now organized, labeled, and ready to go for next year! We’re so grateful for all the time and care they put into preserving and organizing our costume collection. ✨
Thank you, wardrobe team! 🫶 by @capitaldanceproject
