Happenings

Dalton Arts Project is proud to have recently hosted Dustin Phillips, renowned hip hop choreographer, for a weekend of both community classes and intensive training for members of Dalton Dance Company.  This is Dustin's second trip to Dalton as he also came in January of 2009.  For an entire Saturday and a Sunday afternoon, Dustin taught classes and set new dance pieces on company dancers that will be featured in the upcoming March concert.  We are fortunate to have had Dustin in Dalton as he also choreographs for professional sports dance teams and spends many weekends judging dance competitions.  Dalton Arts Project will continue to bring guest artists in when available to teach community classes.  Vince Gully, hip hop instructor from Atlanta, is returning once again to teach both at Dance Theatre of Dalton and through a Dalton Arts Project ArtReach program at the local Boys and Girls Club.  Please continue to visit our website on a regular basis to stay current on what is happening with Dalton Arts Project.

 

Club D Activity

The members of our dancers' service organization are collecting new and used books for the recently opened Morris Innovative High School.  This non traditional school is building a media collection for the students and collecting books for younger readers to send home for families with children of all ages.  This book drive will continue throughout the month of January and all donations are welcome.  Club D members will deliver books and other media to the school at the end of January.  Please help us in supporting these high school students and their families.
 

Nutcracker News!

Nutcracker 2009 was a huge success and would not have been possible without the support of Dalton Arts Project donors, community patrons and hundreds of volunteers.  Thank you to everyone who gave of their time and themselves to help this holiday tradition continue.  Thank you especially to the dancers - you all did a fantastic job and made every performance unique and a joy to watch!  Audiences once again attended seven sold out performances.  An added treat this year was that Dalton native and dance instructor Jo Beth Thompson danced the featured role of Sugar Plum Fairy.  Although this year's production has come to a close, plans are already in the works for Nutcracker 2010.  Visit our Nutcracker page to see the latest pictures from our most recent performances.  Click Here.
 
 
 

Dalton Dance Company

Dalton Dance Company is the auditioned dance company of Dalton Arts Project.  They perform locally in Nutcracker, at benefits, through concerts and ArtReach programs.  After what could be called nothing less than a stellar performance in Nutcracker 2009, the members of Dalton Dance Company are quickly undertaking rehearsals for their March concert.  A featured part of this performance will be a dance by the six senior members of the company, Heather Brewer, Katie Beth Jewell, Lynsey King, Jillian Misner, Natalia Santiago and Christiana Willocks.  The March concert will feature a mix of styles of dance as well as both student and professional choreography.  For more information about Dalton Dance Company and its members, click here.
 

ArtReach NOW

Dalton Arts Project is gearing up for its annual "Clothing and More" drive to benefit the residents of Cherokee Estates, the Georgia Sheriff's Youth Home for Girls.  This will take place from January 18th through February 5th.  Over the past several years, Dalton Arts Project has been able to collect enough clothing to fully stock the clothes closet at Cherokee Estates.  We want to do the same again this year.  We will collect new and gently used clothes, accessories, bedding and room decor to help make the residents feel more at home.  Please save your items now in preparation for this event.  We will need help with donations, sorting adn delivering the collected items.  Thanks for participating in Dalton Arts Project ArtReach!
