Black dancers in Baltimore are beautiful, talented, creative, yet overshadowed. The talent that lies within professional Black dancers is vast, but Baltimore has yet to give these dancers an opportunity to truly highlight our diverse range of movement on stage.
Often, Black dancers leave Baltimore to showcase their work in faraway venues that will hear their artistic voice. It is time for this to change.
The Black Choreographers Festival, occurring Friday - Sunday, October 13th, 14th, and 15th 2023, will highlight the diverse talents of Black dance artists in Baltimore through performances and community master classes.
Your support of The Black Choreographers Festival is very much appreciated. This festival is for our Baltimore community which if filled with dancers, dance lovers, and supporters.
