We create memories that last a lifetime! Our music program includes piano lessons, guitar lessons, voice lessons and many other instruments. Our dance program offers a variety of dance forms such as ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, hip hop, musical theater and tumbling. We also have a strong Acting program that helps to gain confidence and self-esteem. To have dance, music and acting classes at the same location, give families the ability to schedule lessons for 2 or more family members at the same time, providing more time for other activities and less driving for the family.

My…read moredaughter danced here for two years and two summers before we had to move and I'm dreading having to find another studio since SDC set the bar so high. Some things I love: *Miss Karen will take kids as young as 2 and doesn't require them to be potty trained. She believes that nobody is too young or too old to dance. *Wide range of classes available including an adaptive dance class specifically for those with special needs. *The focus is on fun, not on competition (though they do have a fabulous competition teams for those who want to compete). You won't ever hear any of the instructors yelling or scolding the dancers for their performance. Everybody is there to have fun while learning to dance. *Appropriateness. All dancers are required to either change clothes in the studio or wear a cover while going between car and studio. All costumes are age appropriate and proper undergarments are required. You won't see any teen strip teases or three year old little girls gyrating all over the stage at recital. Miss Karen really teaches her dancers how to respect themselves and entertain with their talent, not by showing off a ton of skin. *Cost. I suppose this one may be subjective, but I personally felt that the price of classes was extremely reasonable. My daughter took two classes and we were able to afford it without issue. I honestly don't think that there is anything that I DON'T love about this studio!

With so many years spent around dance studios, I can honestly say I have never experienced one that felt so unprofessional, unwelcoming, and disorganized. Classes regularly started late, and there were three different teachers for the same class in a single season, which created no consistency for the children. The atmosphere also felt very cliquish, with teachers and staff mainly interacting with the regular competition families while newer and recreational families felt overlooked. The studio lobby and restrooms were often not clean, and overall communication and organization were poor. During parent observation times, the studio allowed people without children in the class to come in, making it difficult for actual parents and family members to comfortably enjoy watching their child dance. What disappointed me most was the obvious favoritism. The office staff often came across as rude and impatient, especially toward younger children. One example that stood out was a 2-year-old being rushed and treated impatiently while trying to choose a piece of candy, while another child connected to a competition family was freely given candy without needing to earn tickets like the other students. It created the impression that children were treated differently depending on how much money their family spent at the studio. Children notice these things, and families do too. Sadly, almost all of the children who started in the class at the beginning of the season ended up leaving. We were hoping for a positive, welcoming dance experience, but unfortunately that was not what we found.

She did a good job of moving to different parts of the room to demonstrate the steps because the room was a little narrow and long so sometimes hard to see her with people in the way.

That being said, there were people of all levels in the class and it was really fun. Our choreo was to 50 cent " In Da Club". I plan to try another class and recommend this if you want to have a lot of fun and dance!

I found DivaDance in a random Google search of dance classes in the area, and my expectations have been absolutely surpassed in every sense. DivaDance is such a wonderful community, and every class is such a comfortable and judgement free zone (which is important when you are throwing it down and shamelessly trying new moves & choreo). DivaDance has been amazing for my work-life balance, and for pushing my homebody self to step away from my computer, get moving / trick my body into exercising, and meet new people!! As a side note, DivaDance classes always feature really amazing & wonderful women, as a woman in STEM I don't see a small number in my daily life, so dance has always been my favorite way to meet more diverse sets of people, and DivaDance has certainly been a great source of this in my life since they value empowerment and confidence.
