Washington, DC—An episode of the Montgomery County Cable television show Performance Moves! featuring CityDance Ensemble was recently awarded a Bronze statue in the cultural productions category at the 30th Annual Telly Awards. The award-winning episode highlighted both CityDance’s professional company and outreach program, as well as Marin Alsop, Musical Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, CityDance’s fellow partner at the Music Center at Strathmore. Performance Moves! is produced by Jessica Fusillo for County Cable Montgomery and is regularly co-hosted by CityDance Ensemble Artistic Director Paul Emerson Gordon.
