About Dance/MetroDC


Dance/MetroDC provides resources, promotion, and collaborative opportunities for the dance community in the metropolitan DC area. We define the metropolitan area as Washington, D.C., Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland, Fairfax County, Arlington County and the City of Alexandria in Virginia.
Dance/MetroDC is a nonprofit branch office of Dance/USA, the national service organization for professional dance. Dance/MetroDC was established in response to a sustained need for leadership and centralized services to strengthen professional dance in the DC metropolitan area. Project activities have focused on advocacy, professional development and information resources. Envisioned as a resource for dancers, choreographers, teachers and others, Dance/MetroDC is strategically positioned to be both proactive and reactive, balancing institutional structure and flexibility to gather and disseminate vital information, convene individuals and groups around key issues, facilitate networking, and stimulate grassroots political activity. Long-term goals include creating an environment for dance in the DC metropolitan area that is stable, inclusive and broadly accessible both within and beyond the dance field.

Maryland Youth Ballet
Since 1971, MYB's mission has been to provide the highest caliber of training and performance opportunities to prepare young dancers for a career in the performing arts as well as to provide classes to dancers of all ages and levels in the community. The children's program puts deliberate emphasis on pre-professional achievement with each level carefully crafted to provide the most comprehensive training and coaching in order to produce the high quality dancer that MYB is known for.  MYB graduates are currently performing with such notable companies as American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and Joffrey Ballet, among others.  The MYB adult program operates 7 days/week, year-round with drop-in classes spanning levels from basic beginner through advanced/professional.  Please check our website for schedules and class information: www.marylandyouthballet.org.
