The poster displays a large, abstract graphic in blue and white tones that suggest the outline of a dancer or possibly an artistic interpretation thereof. The background is predominantly off-white with black text providing details about an event called "Dance Festival." This festival took place from August 18-21 at Palmer Auditorium on Connecticut College's campus in New London, Connecticut.

The poster includes various names associated with dance companies and individuals such as Jose Limon and Dance Company, Pauline Koner, and others. It lists the dates of evening performances (August 18-20) starting at 8:30 pm and matinee shows on August 20 from 2:30 pm.

The top left corner indicates "thirteenth American dance festival," while the bottom right contains additional information about ticket prices, performance times for different categories of attendees (matinee vs. evening), a note that box office opens on August 18 at Palmer Auditorium's Glassdoor with an ISBN code mentioned as G2/9131.

The overall design is minimalist and modernistic, indicative of the mid-20th-century graphic style often associated with art house films or cultural events from this era.
