Pure Gold Is Discovered at Nate Holden Performing Arts Center

Summary

---

Under [Ariyan Johnson McDaniel]'s leadership., she has really shared her passion and art form in touching the lives of many. For example, FDC's children's company (Little Faithful Dance Company age ranging from 5-12 years), did a sponsored field trip to New York where the youth got to view a closed rehearsal of the [Alvin Ailey] Dance Company and take private dance classes from a master teacher at the Martha Graham Contemporary Center, while drinking up the artistic cultural world of the city. Throughout the years, FDC has helped nurture the gifts of their members to go on and receive several scholarships at Debbie Alien Dance Academy, City of Angeles Ballet, and Alvin Alley American Dance Center. Alumni of the 65-membered FDC have returned for the reunion and celebration of the 10th anniversary season. John McGiIl, who came to FDC at age 12, graduated in 2006 from New Yoik University with a B.F.A. in Dance and just completed the national tour "Movin' Out". Ms. Lyndsey Holmes, a member since age 12 and a 2008 graduate of Fordham University with a B.A. in English and Religious Studies, was the recipient of Lorner Stressner Award and was personally selected by Ms. Judith Jamison, (dance pioneer and Artistic Director of Alley), to perform with the company at New York City Center.

The show is a stylized fusion of drama, contemporary Dance and Hip Hop Soul and highlights special guest Duane Lee Holland Jr., National Team Member of the Federation of Gymnastics, actor in Lion King, and principal dancer of Rennie Harris' Pure movement; he will dazzle the stage in all performances.
