CONGRATS & THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN DDC'S JACKET FUNDRAISER!
We know how hard it is to do fundraisers and we so appreciate all of you who participated!  There were several  dancers who were able to sell enough to earn a DDC satin jacket with their name of the front and DDC logo on the back! We should expect to receive the items sold within the next four to six weeks and the jackets just before Thanksgiving!

CONGRATULATIONS to the DDC Students Who Were Accepted into the Denton City Contemporary Ballet!
