Description

There are some Dayton Contemporary Dance Company dances that are requested time and again – audiences want, once more, to see the leaps that lifted them out of their seats, the split-second timing that had them blinking with disbelief, the moments that brought a tear, followed by a shout of triumph. They want to re-hear those same songs, and re-view those remembered moves that caused them to fall in love with DCDC. And DCDC is here to answer that request with BLACK BY POPULAR DEMAND — a soul-stirring return to the iconic works that define who they are. These are the dances audiences can’t get enough of — emotional, high-impact, and full of moments that lift you up and leave the room buzzing. At its heart is In My Father’s House, a gospel-soaked celebration choreographed by Chief Executive & Artistic Director Debbie Blunden-Diggs. Set to the unforgettable sounds of Kirk Franklin and the Family, it transforms the stage into a sanctuary where movement and music rejoice as one.

Age Recommendation

Dayton Live encourages you to research titles and decide what is appropriate for you and your party before tickets are purchased. All audience members must have a ticket, regardless of age. For the consideration of all patrons, children on laps and/or babes in arms are not permitted at most presentations.

Accessibility

We recognize that the heart of an arts organization will always be the people we bring together and experiences we share.

Please let the ticket agent know at least two weeks before the performance if you would like either of these services when you order your tickets from Dayton Live. Please understand that while we will make every effort to make reasonable accommodations, certain requests may not be able to be honored.
