Fun fact ... Did you know that in the summer of 2011, DDF’s studios and its dancers were in the iconic NYC movie Frances Ha? The movie’s main character, played by Greta Gerwig, works as a dance teacher ... and these DDF dancers played her students in the film! #nycmoments #ddfhistory #funfact #livelifeddf

Check out Miss Kaitlynn repping DDF with her new DDF Staff pandemic safety tee!
