Overview
Mission
Decatur City Dance's mission is to deliver the art and experience of dance to the community through the performance of original choreography and reimagined classics in eclectic styles. Under the Decatur City Dance umbrella are six performing groups of accomplished adult and teen dancers in ballet, modern, jazz and tap. DCD gives these dancers opportunities to perform in the community in at least three shows each season as well as offering dance in community outreach settings.
What it reported doing in 2024
Let's Tap Show was brought to the stage on March 29-30 2025 at the Drew Charter School Auditorium featuring our tap companies, the Rhythm Keepers (and Apprentices) and the Junior Rhythm Keepers as well as special guests, The Rug Cutters, the resident teen swing dance company. 31 company dancers performed for an audience of nearly 800 people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
