Migros Culture Percentage Dance Festival Steps
Every two years the Migros Culture Percentage stages the biggest festival of contemporary dance throughout Switzerland. Since 1988, national and international dance companies have toured the entire country for a three-week period. With around 70 performances in over 30 towns and villages, the festival attracts a total audience of 30,000 across every region of Switzerland.

Steps 2024
The 19th edition of our dance festival will take place from April 24 to May 19, 2024. The program has something for everyone: well-known names, celebrated choreographers and promising talents - from Switzerland and abroad. With their different artistic styles, they conjure up a variety of stories on Switzerland's stages, all waiting to be discovered by the audience.
