Full Circle Dance Company is celebrating 25 years of being Baltimore’s professional dance company, marking the milestone with an anniversary performance at the Baltimore Museum of Art on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025.
The 25th anniversary performance, “Rooted and Rising,” includes the premiere of a new work entitled “She Did That!,” which celebrates female ancestors. It features members of the community from ages 8 to 68, alongside professional dancers. The piece is based on stories shared by Baltimoreans from all walks of life. Local fiber artist Jaszmine Howard created a quilt that incorporates the names of the real ancestors on whom “She Did That!” is based.
Artistic director Donna L. Jacobs has been on the Baltimore dance scene for more than 30 years. Jacobs has dedicated her professional life to creating artistic opportunities for dancers in Baltimore City, and Full Circle Dance Company has spent 25 years putting those Baltimore stories on the stage.
Tickets for “Rooted and Rising” range from $22.50 to $38.10 and are available now.
There will be two performances on Nov. 9, one at 2 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. The Baltimore Museum of Art is located at 10 Art Museum Drive.
The dance company created a new video, shot in Fells Point, to celebrate Baltimore’s beauty and creativity. View the video below.
