The CDE  has performed at Walt Disney World Resort, Hershey Park, and the Garde Arts Center, and has participated in the Rockette Experience at  Radio City Music Hall, the Balanchine Centennial Celebration at Lincoln Center & the Tremaine Convention.
Summer 2009
 
Hershey Trip: In June we accompanied the Community Dance Ensemble on their performance trip to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. They danced beautifully on the tented stage in the Midway America section of the park. We had a blast riding the rollercoasters with the dancers (and some very brave parents!)
 
Summer Dance: We had a short, but fun summer session in July, and met many new and enthusiastic dancers.  As always, it was fabulous to see our graduates return to the studio to dance again! We missed them!
