Welcome to the Baltimore Dance Bulletin!
Full Circle Dance Company has been committed from the beginning to bringing the broader community into its creative process. Community partnerships enrich our work, and dance enriches our communities. We believe dance can help us understand each other even when words seem inadequate. The Baltimore Dance Bulletin offers a peek inside our world as artists based in the rich, exciting, nourishing artistic milieu that is Baltimore.
