OPEN LOOK is a major annual contemporary dance festival presented by Dance House "Kannon Dance" in St.Petersburg, Russia.[1] The festival is an international event offering training and performance programs that cover a wide range of contemporary dance forms.

Established in 1999 as a means to introduce new audiences to dance and held each summer during the beautiful St.-Petersburg White Nights, it gathers hundreds of professional dancers, choreographers and teachers from all over the world for a two-week program of performance and intensive workshops by well known dance masters. OPEN LOOK presents a concert program featuring performers from abroad and Russia on several stages of St.-Petersburg.

The main aim of the festival is to share the best of Western culture with Russian public and dance society, to provide atmosphere and space for international artistic collaboration, knowledge, experience exchange, creative work, and education. Born in the West, contemporary dance is quite a new thing to Russia that has been for a long time thriving on classical tradition in arts and especially dance. However, contemporary dance draws more and more attention and public interest here and develops intensively.
