BAND (and email) are our preferred methods of communication for parents, students, and teachers :)

The Details

Sunday, July 18th, 2026

Performance before the game at approximately 5:30 PM on the field

Dancers should arrive at 4:15 PM sharp

Game starts at 6:05 PM

Participation Fee: $25

Practices

We will have in-studio rehearsals on the following dates:

June 29th | 3:00–5:00 PM

July 8th | 3:00–5:00 PM

July 16th | 3:00–5:00 PM

Homework

Before the first rehearsal, dancers should memorize the choreography for their assigned age group. It is very important that dancers come prepared, as most rehearsal time will focus on formations, transitions, staging, and the overall performance.

Please select the videos based on your dancer’s age as of the performance date.

We recommend dancers watch the videos in this order:

1. Dance Explained Video

2. Dance with Counts

3. Dance with Music

Dancers will likely need to watch and practice the routines multiple times for retention — that’s completely normal and encouraged!

Videos coming soon!

Attendance Policy

All rehearsals are important; however, we understand that summer schedules can be busy. Dancers may miss one rehearsal and still participate in the performance if needed.

Please note: the July 16th rehearsal is mandatory for all performers.

The Papillion Days Parade is right around the corner, and DDC will be in the parade again this year! This is always a fun outing for the dancers to kick off the new season!

All DDC dancers are welcome to participate in the parade. The company dancers are strongly encouraged to do so.
