We are grateful for all the opportunities that DDC gave her from RDA dance festivals and summer intensives to full scale ballet productions, while still fostering a fun and nurturing atmosphere. My daughter is now in the professional program at the School of Philadelphia Ballet and on her first evaluation, her instructor noted that she had been trained well (by DDC!) I agree 100%!”
