Welcome to the Beautiful World of Día de Muertos!

At the heart of everything we do is Día de Muertos (DDM) — a one-of-a-kind dance festival that celebrates Mexico's Day of the Dead, performed in unique spaces that bring the experience to life in unexpected ways.

Casa De Danza is led by Artistic Director Sarahí Cardenas. Over the years, the festival has grown into something truly special. We bring together Latin artists for residencies, commissions, and live performances — all built around two simple but powerful questions:

What does Día de Muertos mean to you?

How can dance connect memory, ancestry, and the world we live in today?
