Directed by Casandra Hillman and Tanya Knippelmeir, Casandra says that the reason she loves the Community Dance Festival is because “it showcases the dancer and is all about expressing and sharing the art of dance, not about competition or being the best”. Tanya is overjoyed and inspired by “seeing what Sonoma County's dance schools and companies bring to the table. They are all so diverse: in age, genre, culture, music, technique, and emotion, yet the love of dance is universal in all the performers. It's thrilling!".
