Upon her retirement this past summer, she transferred ownership and direction to her daughter, Audra Kucharski. Audra and her accredited faculty plan to continue the tradition of excellence began by her mother, enriching the lives of our students through quality dance education and training. DDC’s mission is to guide and support young individuals in their discovery, understanding, development and
application of the tools necessary to thrive in and outside of the performing arts community. DDC faculty will strive to challenge our students, both mentally and physically, to facilitate further development of creativity, self-confidence, self-discipline and good sportsmanship in a safe and positive environment. We offer comprehensive dance training through a progressive curriculum designed for ages 3 through adult. Our performance opportunities include an Annual Spring Recital Performance; a performing ensemble, Dayton Dance Conservatory Ensemble (DDCE); and The Mini Dugout Dancers who perform at approximately 16 games at Fifth Third Field each season.
