Europe's largest contemporary dance festival takes place in venues large and small all over the city between mid-July and mid-August. In 2017, the festival venues were at nearly 100% capacity, with a record-breaking number of visitors; nearly 130,000 people packed into the halls, museums, and theaters to see some of the world's leading companies take the stage. Recent years have brought stars such as Alaine Platel, Jerome Bel, Mathilde Monnier, Anne Teresa De Keersmaker, and Marie Chouinard.

Austria's foremost center for contemporary dance performances is Tanzquartier Wien. The season runs from September to June, and is followed by the so-called Factory Season, when the center concentrates solely on the projects presented in its dance studios.
