Attention All Touch of Class Students enrolled in Level 3 classes or above!
Would you like to use your dance talent to give back to the community?
Or be in the big finale of TOC’s top notch recital?
If so, it is time for you to join our DANCERTAINER PROGRAM
Touch of Class would like to extend to you an invitation to get involved in our professional traveling troupe, the Dancertainers.
What is the Dancertainers?
The Dancertainer traveling dance troupe embodies the heart and soul of the Touch of Class Organization. Made up of 100 or more voluntary members, this performance group donates their time and enthusiasm to those less fortunate and those who appreciate wholesome entertainment.
Dancertainers originated in 1988 as a way for Touch of Class to give back to the local community and to provide costless access to the arts. What began as a small group of students dancing at retirement homes and hospitals, and now have blossomed into a full scale musical production. From original songs and amazing scripts to quality choreography and dance, the program grew to one of the largest studio based, volunteer, and dance ensembles in the tri-state area.
The Touch of Class Dancertainers now entertains during the Holiday Season at nursing homes, at tree lightings ceremonies and parades, as guests in professional holiday venues, at local schools, at breakfasts with Santa, at Girl Scout socials, and in the Spring as the finale of the TOC recital.
In addition to providing the Delaware and Chester counties with hours of memorable dance programming, the Dancertainer program allows students to enjoy increased performance experience and community exposure. It also affords them the opportunity to receive community service based recognition for their work. Dancertainers provides ALL students, not just the most capable ones, to do what they love most, dance for others. This program truly touches the spirit -of both those that participate in it to those that view its production!
