The Orange County Arts Council will hold its first All-County Dance Celebration on April 29th, at 3pm at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown, NY to coincide with National Dance Week. Orange County dancers, choreographers, dance companies and dance studios have been invited to participate in this one day performance. 
The All-County Dance Celebration gives dancers who live in Orange County an opportunity to perform in a County-wide show that will increase their visibility to the general public and provide an opportunity for self-expression. All pieces presented will be choreographed and performed by artists living or working in Orange County. The Orange County Arts Council hopes that by bringing dancers from all areas of the county together for one single performance, collectively they will demonstrate the beauty and artistic merits of dance and encourage the community to see local dance as a true art form and become more involved in the arts.
The Orange County Arts Council invites all supporters and dance appreciators to join us as we celebrate dance as an art form and raise public awareness of the artistic beauty, local availability and fundamental benefits of dance. The performance will be held at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown, NY on Sunday April 29, 2012 at 3pm. Tickets ar $15 and the performance will be General Admission.
