Club D

Club D is the dancers' service organization of the Dalton Dance Company. Each dancer donates 20 hours of time to selected causes. In February 2007 Club D conducted its first clothing drive to benefit the residents of Cherokee Estates. The dancers asked friends and families to participate by bringing in new and gently used clothing for these girls. The DDC dancers met at the Dalton Arts Project's office to sort the clothes and then delivered them to the girls at Cherokee Estates. This has become an annual event!

Throughout the school year, they perform “Peter and the Wolf” for many area elementary schools as well as a free performance in March at Dalton High School. They perform for local high schools in March donating ticket proceeds to the schools’ drama or arts departments. Club D members have found other ways to fund raise in order to give back to their communities.  Writing holiday cards for service men and women and collecting canned goods during for our local food bank are other ways the dancers give back to the community. Each year they host Dalton Arts Project’s "Nutcracker Tea and Sweets", dressing as Nutcracker characters and participating in the fashion show.

Club D dancers annually volunteer an average of over 2000 hours of community service. They are recognized each April at a banquet with last year’s top honors going to members who volunteered more than 100 hours during the course of the year. Dalton Arts Project is proud to have such dedicated dancers and active community participants.

Volunteer with DTD

Dalton Arts Project is primarily a volunteer arts organization.  With a mission to take arts into the community, we thrive on hundreds of volunteers donating their time and talents to help meet that goal.  If you have an arts related talent that you would like to share with the underserved in our community, Dalton Arts Project may be able to help make that possible.  Or, if you have a willingness to volunteer and a love of the arts, but aren’t quite sure where that fits in with our organization, we always have a project that needs more helping hands.  Please call 706-529-5664 to inquire about volunteer opportunities.  Dalton Arts Project could not exist without an active volunteer base and that could be you!
