About the festival

Festivalen arrangeres i et samarbejde mellem arrangør Amanda Salma og foreningen Ofelia.

Oriental Festival Denmark is a festival that celebrates the diversity within oriental dance and music. Both when it comes to style and levels. Here, both the new dancer and the top professional are more than welcome on stage.
It's not just something we say to make it sound nice. It is the bane of our existence and a pervasive attitude to how the entire festival is organized and run.
