We did it! Thanks to all of you, we had a record-breaking DFL this year. We welcomed more than 3,100 guests for the performance and 650 gala attendees all while raising over $300,000 for the Dancers' Fund. You are amazing! Thank you!

“I remember when the first dancer passed away” Duncan recalls. “The fact that we pulled together an organization that could help them—and now move onto other illnesses to help folks in the community—this is the way we give back, the only way we know how.” https://t.co/vXk9XvEVJT
