Grab your bike, your scooter, roller skates, or just put on your favorite walking shoes! We're back for the second year of a new summer tradition in Madison, the Isthmus Dance collective brings you the Shifting Gears Bike Path Dance Festival with generous support from Dane Arts and the SASY Neighborhood Association.

Shifting Gears creates informal and temporary performance spaces in the park and green spaces along the fantastic bike paths in Madison: Wirth Court Park, McPike Park, the Olin Park Vantage, and new this year; Brittingham Park.

So get a little exercise, enjoy the beautiful outdoors along the bike paths, and witness a stunning array of local dance groups with us. There will be plenty of interactive family friendly fun to be had for all! This year will also feature some welcome audience amenities. Feel free to bring your own small shade umbrellas, picnics and picnic blankets, sun screen, bug repellent, and any other goodies you might need to enjoy a full day of dance and the outdoors. The full festival schedule will be announced soon.
