DDC is reaching out to the Community.
Our Outreach program includes the following:
School Programs:
DDC offers free/low cost school performances of our productions 1-2 times a year. Along with that, we offer supplemental materials such as school visits prior to the performance and a study guide for teachers that gives them infomation on the performance.
Collaborations:
At present we are developing partnerships with three different organizations. We welcome new partnerships that will enable both DDC and its partners to better serve the community.
Scholarships:
Through its outstanding programming DDC offers classes, workshops, master classes and summer camps to over 500 children and adults in the tri-state area. DDC is proud to offer scholarships and educational opportunities for youth in the community to enjoy and learn about the art of dance through Project S.O.A.R.
Scholarships are available to students who wish to study dance at DDC but may not have the financial means.

Dear patron,
Delaware Dance Company thanks you for your continued support of our programs through enrollment in our classes and summer programs or as an audience member at our performances. DDC was proud to debut its version of the ballet Cinderella last spring, which was, like our Nutcracker heralded as exemplary, affordable family arts entertainment. Having celebrated the 25th Anniversary production of our Nutcracker this past holiday season, DDC has clearly proved its durability as a presence in the arts community of northern New Castle County and the tri-state area.
During these difficult economic times, DDC, like many non-profits, is looking for ways to not only sustain our arts programming but to continue to meet our mission of providing “the highest quality dance educational opportunities … to anyone desiring such education” by expanding outreach and financial assistance programs. We truly believe that the experiences and opportunities provided by Delaware Dance Company make a difference in our student’s lives. Whether it is the discipline required for advancement in the dance curriculum; the camaraderie gained from working on choreography with their peers; or the confidence and self-esteem achieved by meeting and working with guest artists and performing in front of audiences small and large, we believe our students leave us better prepared to face the challenges of their future lives.
As part of our Sustaining Donor campaign, we will gratefully accept donations of any amount. A gift of $10 or $25 from all our members and supporters would make a very significant impact on DDC’s financial stability. Please see below more information on other levels of sponsorship. All contribution to Delaware Dance Company, a 501(c)3 non-profit agency are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. We truly appreciate your support.
With our most sincere thanks,Delaware Dance CompanyBoard of Trustees
