Movement, music and community will take center stage in downtown West Palm Beach as Natural Movers Foundation prepares to host its fourth annual Dance. All. Day. Fest.

The family-friendly event is scheduled for May 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at CityPlace, for a full day of interactive dance classes, live performances and cultural programming in one of the city’s most active public spaces.

Presented in partnership with Related Ross, the festival invites participants of all ages and experience levels. From hip hop to line dancing, attendees can take part in a wide range of workshops while also enjoying performances by leading South Florida dance companies and artists. Live entertainment will be provided by DJ ReRe, with a special appearance by Faith’s Place Drumline.

“We are grateful to partner with Related Ross to bring Dance. All. Day. Fest back to CityPlace for the fourth year in a row,” said Ericka Squire, founder and CEO of Natural Movers Foundation. “This event is a celebration of movement, music and culture in one of Palm Beach County’s most vibrant cultural destinations. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer, a fitness enthusiast or a lover of the arts, you won’t want to miss Dance. All. Day. Fest.”

Organizers say the event reflects a broader effort to expand access to arts and wellness programming throughout the region. Founded with a mission to enrich the cultural landscape of Palm Beach County through dance, Natural Movers Foundation connects local choreographers and teaching artists with performance and educational opportunities, while offering free arts programming to the community.

At CityPlace, that mission aligns with a growing emphasis on creating shared experiences that bring people together in the heart of downtown.

“CityPlace has always been a gathering place at the heart of our community, and events like Dance. All. Day. Fest. bring that energy to life,” said Eileen Sturgis, director of marketing. “We’ve seen firsthand how much our community craves spaces to come together around movement and wellness. We’re proud to continue building on that momentum and welcome Natural Movers Foundation back to CityPlace.”

In addition to dance programming, festivalgoers can explore CityPlace’s mix of dining and retail offerings throughout the day, creating a festival atmosphere that blends fitness, entertainment and social connection.

The event’s community dance class schedule includes:

• 10–11 a.m.: Yoga with Natalie Addison

• 11:30 a.m.–noon: Dance Fitness with Candace Kratz

• 12:30–1 p.m.: Latin Fusion with Evelyn Pantiagua

• 1:30–2 p.m.: Hip Hop with Larry Albright

• 2:30–3 p.m.: Line Dancing with DJ ReRe
