MEN WHO DANCE 2026 at Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts

Men Who Dance, the largest all-male dance festival in the United States, returns to the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Fort Lauderdale

Saturday, Nov. 28, at 8 pm, & Sunday Nov. 29, 2026, at 3 pm.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (August 21, 2026) – Men Who Dance returns to the Amaturo Theater stage at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Fort Lauderdale on Saturday night, November 28 and Sunday afternoon November 29, 2026 for a TRIUMPHANT 7th year in a row! In defiance to the onslaught of dwindling public support for the Arts, and aggressive legislation against diversity, 2026 brings audiences an ever-growing number of Dance companies and guest artists, making this one of our most spectacular shows yet!

Adding to the prestige of South Florida’s own renowned dance companies, including Miami City Ballet, Dance NOW! Miami, Cuban Classical Ballet, Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami, Arts Ballet Theatre of South Florida, Syncopate Dance Collective, and many others, we welcome Ballet Nacional del Sodre (Chile), Cisne Negro (Brazil), Compañía Nacional de Danza de Mexico (Mexico), and Tropilla Malambo (Argentina). Returning after a 2-year absence are Tango Champion Twins, German and Nico Filipelli. This year, our Men Who Dance Global extension will showcase talent from San Juan, Puerto Rico!

Men Who Dance has become synonymous with exceptional physical displays of bravura, and stimulating choreographies, bringing local, national, and international dance artists to present an exhilarating repertoire of myriad themes and genres. It has also become an important platform for choreographers to premiere new works that go on to other companies and artists. The festival is known for its explosive display of artistic expression that celebrates, challenges, deconstructs, and defies tired concepts and notions of masculinity

In 2020 Men Who Dance made history as the first in-door dance concert in a major theater since the closing of venues in March 2020 due to Covid-19. As legislators drum up legislation that diminishes education, women’s health, diversity, and equitable inclusion, Men Who Dance continues to grow as a global platform for thought provoking yet entertaining expressions of our constitutional freedoms.

“The essence and purpose of Men Who Dance is not to promote any agendas, or even come to conclusions, it is about engaging in the process of deconstructing the stereotypes of men, revaluate what is masculinity on and off the stage, and encourage and dare artists to explore them," said Rafi Maldonado-Lopez, creator and Artistic Director of Men Who Dance.
