County Dance Conservatory

About us

Originally named South Anne Arundel County Dance Conservatory, County Dance Conservatory was founded in September 2002 in Deale, Maryland by J. Davis Hobdy. The goal of County Dance Conservatory is to provide quality, professional dance instruction for all ages. Specializing in jazz, modern and tap, the school will also provide a strong foundation in ballet technique. Our goal for the recreational dancer is to gain self-confidence through the physical and mental accomplishments that come from positive dance instruction. The performing companies have appeared locally at Deale Beach Day, Marlborough Day and with the dance companies at Southern High School in 2004 and 2006. The companies have also performed at the Anne Arundel County Fair, South County Relay for Life, Chesapeake Pride Festival, and the National Cherry Blossom Festival 2011 in Washington, DC.

Davis Hobdy Dance is a new performance outlet serving as an extension of County Dance Conservatory and PIECES. Its mission is to encourage and facilitate artistry, creativity, and collaboration in dance and the arts. Davis Hobdy Dance has appeared internationally in Prague (Czech Republic), San Marino (the Republic of San Marino), Kiev (Ukraine) as well as Athens and Piraeus (Greece).
