DDP is excited to share highlights of some of Penny Saunders‘ upcoming work as Resident Choreographer at Grand Rapids Ballet, under the leadership of Artistic Director James Sofranko. Her new piece is entitled TESTIMONY, and DDP founder Liza Yntema was one of the early few to have the pleasure of watching the work in the studios of Grand Rapids Ballet.
