What does Decatur City Dance provide its dancers?
"To me, dancing with DCD means having a community of people who care about you separate from school or anything else. It's an opportunity for opportunities, really. We can learn as much as we want from dancing here and feel good about giving back to those who've helped us grow. It's a practice in discipline as well as a creative outlet. It's fun and meaningful at the same time."
"DCD gives me a chance to meet people who are just as passionate about dancing as I am. It also gives me the tools to become a better dancer and learn from others."
Sarah Mitchell - Ballet Mistress, The Apprentice Ensemble
