Los Angeles-based dance company Heidi Duckler Dance (HDD) has announced its 37th Annual Celebration, The Body of the People, on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 5pm at Founder's Church of Religious Science designed by the distinguished Los Angeles architect Paul R. Williams.

The evening includes a cocktail reception and dinner, performances by Heidi Duckler Dance's company and students, and an awards ceremony celebrating prominent LA community members Jewel Delegall, Nancy Griffin, and David Roussève with featured speaker LeRonn P.
