DCDC is #DaytonStrong. Unite with us.

Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC) inspires and unites people. Whether in the classroom, where students learn through creative movement, or on stage before audiences, whose imagination soars with gravity-defying dance, DCDC invests in the communities it touches.

You, too, have invested in those communities—our communities and those further away. You have enriched the lives of others.

How?

Your contribution helps DCDC address challenges (such as inspiring students to learn), support the health and well-being of communities (creative movement as aerobic activity), and serve as cultural ambassador to the world on behalf of the Miami Valley, the state of Ohio, and the nation (civic pride and identity).

Today, DCDC’s work is more critical than ever. Our shrunken sphere of activity compromises our physical and mental health.

But dance overcomes our isolation. It continues to bring life, joy, and much needed energy to our lives: the performance of dance can be enjoyed online or used as aerobic movement at home. Dance unites the imagination with the body, transcending the boundaries of separation. It brings activity where there is stagnation. Engagement where there is boredom.

Thank you for helping DCDC enliven people’s lives. That is why I look to you to bring DCDC’s gift to the world—whether locally or afar. Please make a gift to DCDC today. With your support you help others get up and move!

A donor has agreed to grow your gift with a pledge to match funding up to $50,000. This means you leverage your generosity to the greater good.

That leverage goes even further. The recently passed CARES Act includes a new $300 non-itemized tax deduction. You are eligible for this deduction even if you do not itemize your deductions on your taxes.

As an example, a monthly donation of just $35.00 a month from April through December 2020 will qualify you for the full $300 tax deduction!

Soon, we will be free to move about the world. For now, help DCDC bring the world to others as well as to you.

I thank you in advance for your gift.

Stay safe and healthy.
