For a third year the Arts Council is pleased to produce a city-wide dance festival.

This year we are pleased to expand our vision of this series by adding a professional development component in addition to a performance. We are seeking companies to create original choreography derived from modern or ballet technique. Accepted companies will have the opportunity to work with David Dorfman, a highly accomplished choreographer based in New York and currently teaching at Connecticut College.

And then in May and June come check out all of our local and regional talent in squares, parks, lots across Somerville. To download an application go to http://somervilleartscouncil.org/dancefest/2015
