Q:WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PART, OR SOMETHING YOU FIND UNIQUE, ABOUT DJD’S BLACK AND WHITE BALL?
A: As a team, we have been to every DJD show in the past 4 years. We have loved and enjoyed them all and admire the grace and ingenuity with which DJD dancers move on and off the stage. To see them coming alive at The Black and White Ball, to share the same stage with them and to link hands with them in celebration of art, music, dance and love, is a journey that each of my team members treasures greatly. We cannot ask for a better venue to showcase our talent than The Black and White Ball, and the party is always a blast!  Last year we kept the champagne pouring until 1am!
