Dance Company

The Dance Company's fall and spring performances showcases new works by Towson University faculty and renowned guest artists, such as Paul Taylor, Alonzo King, Larry Keigwin, Troy Powell, David Parsons, Mark Dendy and Gus Solomons.


The Towson University Dance Company, founded in 1972, produces quality theatrical dance concerts, educates diverse audiences, and provides professional-level performing experiences to its company members.

The Dance Company, an elective course, holds auditions twice a year. Company members include students in the professional-level BFA Dance Program as well as TU students in other programs who are exemplary dancers.

Towson University Dance Company serves the community through free biannual school matinees, a performance/lecture demonstration for the Baltimore region preK-12 students, and tailors its concerts to interested presenters.
