 Arts, Culture, Community. The Jose Mateo Ballet Theater hosted the 2021 Dance for World Community Festival in Cambridge, where visitors piled up in Harvard Square to support the local dance community. The Dance for World Community Festival has a larger mission of kind of use the power of dance to create social change. Dance sort of has this underutilized power to connect people. Small business owners have the chance to sell jewelry and crafts. You see people out here right now being able to engage with like different things that they wouldn't have necessarily noticed. I've talked to a couple people already this morning who were just walking through the area and just having this festival be here exposes people to the arts and places that they weren't going to expect on a Saturday. The answers of all ages and backgrounds performed. Everybody gets to know other cultures, other groups of dancing. In its 14th year, the festival welcomed 25,000 attendees in 53 performing arts groups.
