The Dance Festival will take place as usual on August 15–16, bringing together dance enthusiasts to let loose to the music of well-known bands. Now in its sixth year, the festival has grown and evolved significantly. Many of the same people return year after year to enjoy dancing in Hrísey, as there are few places left today where you can experience the joy of dancing to classic styles like old-time ballroom dances, line dancing, Swedish bugg, twist, and rock.
