Built on Stilts is back! The community dance party that takes up residence at Union Chapel in Oak Bluffs each summer starts its run on Thursday, August 9.
Built on Stilts returns to Union Chapel this week for its annual summer dance residence. The festival was founded 21 years ago and continues to thrive with the spirit of dance, inclusivity and community.
What began as a one-night creative dance festival opened its 20th season this weekend. Built on Stilts continues from August 20 to 23. Admission is free.
Abby Bender never imagined Built on Stilts growing into the eight-night Island phenomenon it is today.
Beginning this Thursday, Union Chapel in Oak Bluffs will be filled with the sounds of dancing feet, rhythmic drumming and thunderous applause as the Island gathers once again for the annual Built on Stilts dance festival.
Young dancers of Stiltshop will be performing at Union Chapel Thursday, the opening night of Built on Stilts dance festival.
