Title
South Dayton Dance Theatre
Description
In 1986, Elizabeth Karns dreamed of creating an innovative dance company to foster and showcase the talents of young performers. In 1989 Gigi Gardner became the company's Artistic Director; by 1993 the company had become a 501 (c)(3), non-profit corporation known as the South Dayton Dance Theatre. Today there are over 30 members in the Company. Every year the South Dayton Dance Theatre presents both a Spring Concert and The Nutcracker Ballet.
The Nutcracker Ballet differs slightly from the Spring Concert in that The Nutcracker Ballet is performed using students from the South Dayton School of Dance in supporting roles. Students as young as 6 years of age are encouraged to participate, giving them their first real opportunity of performing in a professional environment.
Members of the South Dayton Dance Theatre are in rehearsal from late August until mid-July. Many members can average as many as 20-30 hours per week in rehearsal, taking classes, and demonstrating and teaching in other classes. This hard work and dedication has paid off richly, as SDDT members have won many prestigious awards and scholarships at the local, regional, state, and national levels. Much of this recognition is a direct result of the countless hours given by Gigi Gardner, Elizabeth Karns, Gina Walther, and Julie Anderson in perfecting each performance. They receive no compensation for their loving dedication to the South Dayton Dance Theatre.
