🦢 Congratulations to our Beautiful Swans!

✨ These amazing dancers trained and rehearsed all week, with guest teacher/alumni Asha Gangolli and DCE fav Vicki Barlow, and performed with elegance and grace during our end of the week showing. Great job dancers! We are so impressed with how much you've improved in these last couple days.
