Services
Delaware Dance Company was founded over thirty years ago as "The Ballet School of Newark".
In 1984, the non-profit "Delaware Dance Company" was Incorporated as a performing group associated with the school.
In the early 90s, the school was absorbed into the non-profit and DDC now supports two performing groups, the Youth Dance Ensemble, for intermediate dancers 11 to 13 years, and the pre-professional DDC Performing Company, for experienced, high-school aged dancers.
Devoted to bringing high quality dance education and performance to the northern Delaware, tri-state area, DDC classes are taught from a graded curriculum so that students in all classes at a given level work toward accomplishing and perfecting the same techniques.
