Howard County Community Dance Festival
Festival Overview
The Howard County Community Dance Festival gathers dancers of Howard County and the surrounding areas in a celebration of dance. The day includes classes and performances in the hope that dance will continue to be a valued and lasting component of the arts in Howard County. The festival features dancers, teachers, and choreographers from the Baltimore/DC metro area as a means of exposure and support in our small but vibrant community. Participation is appropriate for dancers aged 11 years and up.
The Howard County Community Dance Festival is presented by the Howard Community College (HCC) Dance Program with support from the Howard County Arts Council.
