Season 2025
2025 IS THE YEAR OF DANCE. NOW’S THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.
For the first time, Velocity is launching its entire 2025 Performance Season at once—and we’re determined to make this year all about dance.
Imagine this: The Pantone color of 2025 is DANCE, the Kardashians were photographed wearing DANCE, give it up for this year’s Nobel Prize winner: DANCE, and People’s hottest person…? You guessed it—DANCE. So wear it, paint your living room with it, roll your eyes at it, watch it, and like, comment + SUBSCRIBE to it.
Velocity’s 2025 Season is packed with unforgettable performances. Celebrate the future of dance with Bridge Project, witness the long-anticipated return of acclaimed international dance icon Meg Stuart, and experience full-length works from Seattle’s own Keyes + the NoGoodDoers and dani tirrell + The Congregation. This season has it all: good vibes, sweaty bodies, new ideas, and internationally renowned superstars.
Also new this year, we’re thrilled to introduce OUT THERE—our brand-new West Coast experimental dance festival spanning two weekends, featuring new ideas from the brilliant artists living and working in your timezone.
By subscribing, not only do you get access to a full year of performances at the lowest price, but you also support experimental dance in Seattle. So join Velocity in our never ending quest to make every year the year of dance, and help us keep dance-makers at the center of our city’s vibrant arts landscape.

By selecting this price, you are investing in our community, and affirming the value of live performance and dance.
General | $35
Full Subscription: $240 / Pick 3: $90

This tier is our most accessible ticket price, especially when purchased as a subscription. Choose this level if you often struggle to meet your basic needs, are under or unemployed, and have low- to no savings.

HOW TO BUY TICKETS
Tickets are sold through Velocity’s website until 4pm, when the online box office closes. The physical box office will open 1 hr before the show, and remaining tickets can be purchased at the door. In some cases door prices may be higher than online prices, which will be stated on the webpage.
TICKETING POLICIES
Artists, programs, casts, dates and prices are subject to change. There are no refunds. Please contact operations@velocitydancecenter.com for all ticket-related questions.
TICKET EXCHANGES
Ticket exchanges may be processed at no charge for a different date of the same production, or in some cases to a different production. Select events or promotions may not be eligible for exchange. To exchange tickets, please contact the Box Office at least 24 hours before the original performance date. Please note that all exchanges are subject to availability.
LATE SEATING
Velocity’s late seating policy varies per performance, depending on whether the venue and choreography allows for audience members to safely move through the house once the performance has begun.
WAITING LIST
In the event of a sold out performance, a waitlist will be available starting when the box office for that performance opens – usually an hour before the show is scheduled to begin. Any tickets that have not been claimed at the box office will be released to the waitlist at the start time of the show. At that time, all pre-purchased tickets will be moved to the bottom of the waitlist and will not be guaranteed a seat.
CANCELLATIONS
If Velocity cancels a performance, we will provide ticket-holders with the option to refund or exchange your tickets.
