Memories of a season where DCDC not only danced in its light, it sang.

Dancer artist Allyia Nelloms powerful voice captured the audience by emotional surprise in the premiere of "Promised Land".

"I'm alright, now."

Happy Juneteenth from DCDC and thank you to the ancestors.

For Dayton Contemporary Dance Company freedom is not a concept but a practice the body has carried since 1968. On Juneteenth, the company honors liberation through the work it has always done: movement that has always and continues to take up space, unapologetically.

The history is not behind this institution. It is underneath every step and lifts it to greater heights.

It is with great honor and heartfelt privilege that the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company congratulates Qarrianne Blayr as the organization’s newly named Artistic Directress (effective July 1).

For over 15 seasons Ms. Blayr has shared her spirit, artistry, skills and ideas with audiences on and off the stage, and has offered her heart to the Dayton community. Her dual artistic and administrative journey is unique: from D2 and Office/ Season Subscriber Ticketing Manager, to First Company and Education & Community Engagement Assistant, to Rehearsal Director, and then to Associate Artistic Director; Ms. Blayr’s love and respect for DCDC’s legacy and has only grown deeper over the years.

It’s an exciting time, and we look forward to your leadership Q! Onward!
