South Dayton Dance Theatre (SDDT) Honored with Invitation to Perform at the International Ballet Competition (IBC) in June 2010
This outstanding honor is just one of the many awards SDDT was awarded at the Northeast Regional Dance America Festival (RDA) in Harrisburg. PA in May 2009. Two of the three pieces performed by SDDT received awards. Aloft, choreographed by Ashley Sass, earned the Monticello Award for Best Emerging Choreographer. Closure, choreographed by Shannon Bramham, was awarded the highest honor, being selected to represent the Northeast Region of RDA at the International Ballet Competition (IBC www.ibcusa.com). Often referred to as the Olympics of Dance, IBC is an international festival of dance held every four years for professional dancers, choreographers and dance companies to display their talents and take classes from world renowned instructors. Only five pre-professional companies were selected to perform and showcase up-and-coming dancers. SDDT was one of them.
“We are so excited to be chosen to represent the Northeast Region of RDA at this prestigious event. It is truly an honor to have one of our pieces selected to preform at IBC along with such dance caliber. We are always striving to raise the level of our dancers, performances and choreography so we can provide the company with these kinds of opportunities,” said SDDT Artistic Director, Gigi Gardner.
Additionally, SDDT company member Tara Lynch from Centerville, Ohio received the Phelps Award for best contemporary dancer for her performance at RDA in Closure.
South Dayton Dance Theatre is a innovative pre-professional dance company that was established in 1993 in Centerville, Ohio to foster and showcase the talents of young performers. They provide a family oriented, fun dance studio that teaches its students physical and mental disciplines as well as helps them to perfect their artistic development not only as an individual but also in a team atmosphere.
SDDT is a community driven organization that provides professional dance instruction and performances such as a yearly Nutcracker in December and a Spring Concert in March. They always strive to increase the quality and recognition of their students ranging from ages eleven to eighteen. Many have been awarded full college & camp dance scholarships. Just a true testament of the level of training they receive through their SDDT dance tenure.
