As we prepare to welcome our dancers back for “Back to School” time at DDF, these six amazing dancers are heading to high school as freshman dance majors at the prestigious LaGuardia High School – the “Fame School”!  We couldn’t be more proud of you Aurelia, Diya, Emma, Estelle, Willow & Wynne!

“Louder Than Words” Katie Drablos has taught at DDF since 2019, and while she’ll remain part of the DDF family as a guest teacher and choreographer, she won’t be with us as a regular weekly teacher this coming year.
