Unlike last month's dance, December's dance is an FSGW Tier 1 event; details at the registration site. We heard the concerns of the dance community and have chosen to forgo the County subsidy. Please consider making a donation at registration.
Presented through a partnership of Carpe Diem Arts and the Folklore Society of Greater Washington. Made possible by the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County and the Maryland State Arts Council.
