DC Jr. Elevate program piece by @__tessmarie__last season - SWIM (ages 11-14)

DCC Elevate Evaluations are Tuesday August 22 - with @__tessmarie__ -
Contemporary 4:15-6PMAges 11-14
Contemporary 6:15-8PMAges 15+

DCC Elevate is designed to give professional caliber performing opportunities to our inspiring dancers. DC trainees will be given the unique opportunity of working in a professional environment with a select group of dancers.
Guest teachers and choreographers are an integral part of this program, as we believe in diversifying dancers’ educations to help them reach their peak potential.

Under the direction of Diane Collins (@dcdancela ) and Tess Hewlett (@__tessmarie__ ) our dancers are challenged to succeed not only as performers, but individuals as well.DC philosophy of instilling integrity, confidence, work ethic and camaraderie is the foundation to becoming successful later in life after dance. We strive daily to accomplish this in a nurturing and family-oriented environment, where our dancers can express themselves freely in a safe environment.

So grateful to have @nadineolmoat📍@dcdancela 🥀🎥: @beccathecreator

So happy to have our @eugeniardzp back home with us ❤️🫶🏼 Join us in more Monday night masterclasses coming up @dcdancela !!
