Dayton Dance Conservatory Company (DDCC) was established in 2014. Artistic Directors Audra Kucharski and Kandee Thacker-Mann had a vision of creating a nonprofit pre-professional youth dance company that would continue to proliferate and sustain the art of dance in Dayton and the surrounding areas. DDCC strives to cultivate young, aspiring professional dancers through education and repertoire which challenges technique, artistic depth, and creativity. DDCC members seek to continue oral and visual traditions, and instill the value of performing arts within the community.
