Welcome to DDF ELEVATED,
Downtown Dance Factory’s Recitals 2021!
We are incredibly excited to welcome you to our recital season, and so happy to
have found a way to hold in-person performances this year.
This past year has been a challenge in so many ways. A bright light for us at
Downtown Dance Factory has been welcoming you, our dancers, through our
studio doors again. Turning the lights back on, firing up those stereos and seeing all
your smiling eyes from week to week are the things that kept us all going. Despite
the challenges - the countless stair climbs, dancing in masks with open windows,
and constantly staying distanced - you showed up because dance is in your hearts!
We couldn’t be more grateful to have spent this last year with all of you. So we
want to thank you, our dancers!
We also want to say a huge thank you to all our DDF parents. You brought your kids
to dance, you dropped them at the side door and waited through rain, snow and
cold while they danced, you picked them up after class, and you accepted this
situation, because it made your dancers happy. Thank you for being a part of this
year, and for supporting us and your children’s love of dance.
Finally, we would like to extend love and thanks to our "crew" - our tireless
teachers and staff - who also climbed stairs and supported their dancers and each
other, who came to work because of their passion for dance and to share that
passion with their students. You made this year possible, and we would not be here
this weekend without you.
Our amazing city and our talented dancers have been through so much. We hope
that watching them perform, surrounded by this spectacular view, brings
happiness now and long into the future. Thank you for joining us for DDF
ELEVATED!
