The Dayton Contemporary Dance Company will be “Taking It to the Streets” this weekend to bring back the power of dance to Dayton.

On Sunday, Aug. 29, DCDC will host a free concert at Levitt Pavilion featuring company dancers in a repertoire that includes “This I Know for Sure,” “Love Lost,” “Heaven’s Earth,” “Nourishing Routes” and “Traffic.”

“The global health crisis shut down performance venues,” said Ro Nita Hawes-Saunders, DCDC CEO. “But with gratitude to generous grants including the City of Dayton and Montgomery County — DCDC is back — LIVE. What better way to celebrate our return to the stage than a free performance at the wonderful Dayton Levitt Pavilion?”

The event is free and begins at 7 p.m.

“We love Dayton and have missed performing live for you! If you’ve never seen us perform — now is the time to see us!” said Debbie Blunden-Diggs, DCDC chief artistic and producing director. “You will be amazed at the way our high-caliber, professional dancers execute with athleticism, grace and power. You will be enrapt by the dancer’s emotion and energy. It’s a great way to spend an end-of-summer evening.”
