Activities, games, and videos to keep you dancing!
#DCMKeepDancing
DCM will be closed for the foreseeable future due to directives from the government to prevent the spread of COVID-19. All currently enrolled dance families should have received emails about our Spring Session and June Concert. We thank you all for your continued support and understanding during what is a challenging time for everyone.

One way we can help out is to provide some dance related ideas, games, activities,
and movement exercises for all of our dancers and families!

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater - City of Rain
Camille A. Brown calls her dance language "jambalaya" because she draws from so many different styles and inspirations. This quietly intense work honors the struggles and grace of losing a friend. In revisiting this piece nine years after its premiere, Brown made changes to reflect both these particular dancers and her own artistic growth.
