The name of the festival, formerly called South Dallas Dance Festival, has been changed to honor Mary Lois Hudson Sweatt, (1939-2016), whose school is celebrating its 50 Anniversary this year. She recognized the importance of this festival and made the original motion to have it as a part of our BDC bylaws.

The 2022 Sweatt Dallas Dance Festival is produced by Beckles Dancing Company in partnership with the South Dallas Cultural Center and City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture.
