So We Think We Can Dance returns for its 9th year at the Darien Arts Center.
The DAC dance program is proud to provide this one of kind opportunity for students to produce a show from start to finish. So We Think We Can Dance was the brainchild of past DAC students, some who have moved on to pursue careers in dance.
They envisioned using the skills they had developed from years of dancing at the DAC, to express their individuality in their very own dances, while having a chance to shine.
It has proven to be a great success, beyond selling out audiences. According to Amy Allen, DAC executive director, “So We Think We Can Dance truly fills us with pride. Our students utilize years of practice, to create, choreograph and produce an entertaining show.
It empowers creative thinking and builds confidence. They really put their hearts into this, as well as a lot of time and effort. I can’t wait to see this year’s performances.” DAC dance students, Samantha Gombos, Mackenzie Swift and Eva Larino are producing the 2020 show.
