This weekend, Orlando will see its first ever Contemporary Dance Choreography Festival - or "CDCFest" for short.

CDCFest founder McClaine Timmerman, a choreographer in her own right, has brought in local, national, and international choreographers - both emerging and established - to showcase their works.

Timmerman tells 90.7's Nicole Darden Creston that her goal is to continue to grow the dance community in Orlando’s dynamic and expanding arts scene...and to give dance a space to speak in its unique way about social issues, current events, and deep emotions.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined Central Florida Public Media in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
