Love DDC soooo much! The instructors are so loving to girls and care for them like their own! If you are looking for a dance studio then look no further! You found it :)
My child has attended ballet classes for two years and is always happy with her classes. She loves to come home and dance after learning new dances. The staff is always friendly and answers my messages when needled in a prompt and timely manner.
Being a part of DDC since she was 3 years old has been one of the most formative experiences for our daughter.

I knew years ago before I even had children that if I ever had girls they would dance at DDC! And I’ve been blessed with 3 girls! 2 of which already attend classes. They have both started with Imagidance and are working their way up and baby sister will be right there with them as soon as she’s old enough! I can’t say enough good things about DDC as a whole. The program itself is incredible. These girls learn the proper terminology for all of the positions and skills starting from day 1. It is modest and proper, classically conservative and beautiful with grace and elegance throughout each class and performance. The instructors are incredibly talented as well as being kind and patient with these young ballerinas. They notice those who need a little extra love and those who excel and make sure each shines in their own way. They truly care about these girls as well as their families and want to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. The girls learn discipline and order and patience and the importance of hard work from the very beginning. The classes are flexible for schedules and the girls have an absolute blast every week. Information is shared to parents in a timely and efficient way when needed. Everything from the classes to the parent previews to pictures to productions runs like a well oiled machine. We absolutely love being a part of the DDC family and look forward to many more years!

They teach far more than dance here...perseverance, strength, teamwork, discipline, compassion, artistry and so much more.
Love this!!
I danced at DDC many, many years ago and absolutely loved every minute of it!! I love that I know my little girl is getting quality teaching and care from all the staff while she is there. Every performance is put on with such professionalism, and it is such a joy and always invites your imagination to be put to good use for a while. They also provide so many wonderful opportunities for growth and experiences dancing at DDC. I always recommend my friends to DDC when they are looking for a place for their little to start an adventure in dance! ♥️
We absolutely love DDC!!! Both of my girls take ballet 🩰 and love the teachers, atmosphere, and everything! I would recommend to anyone!
