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.
