DCC NEXT STEPS // Congratulations to DCC Pre-Pro dancer London Ivory her first official day as a Winter Term student at The School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet! While attending this year’s Summer Intensive, London was one of few dancers invited to stay as a full-time student for the year, and we are incredibly proud and excited for her to take this next big step in her pre-professional training! We will miss having her bright spirit around the studio each day, but we can’t wait to see what this next chapter holds for London and are already looking forward to her visits back to DCC throughout the year!

Wishing everyone a safe & happy Labor Day holiday! As a reminder, DCC is closed today and classes will resume tomorrow, 9/8.

Dabria said it best: this was such a special full circle moment, to have one of our original PrePro dancers return to teach the next generation of dancers. We will always be your biggest fans here at DCC, and are so grateful for our dancers to have this inspiring opportunity in the studio with you—we can’t wait to have you back again soon!
