My daughter just completed the hip hop summer class and I am so impressed by how this whole institute is run! Hats off to the enthusiastic teachers! Compared to other dance places we've been to...this is by far the best. Plenty of seating for parents. Monitors up for you to watch your kiddo. And everything so organized and well run. Thanks DDI and I hope we'll be back soon for more! read more

After being at this studio for ten years here are the reasons I would not recommend it 1. . If you're looking for a studio with an owner who doesn't have a backbone this is the studio for you. 2. If you're looking for a studio that allows volunteer parents to discipline students without the other child parents being present this is the studio for you. 3. If you're looking for a studio that allows kids to rip masks off other kids faces with no consequences this is the studio for you. 4. If you want a studio where kids are allowed to come to class after being home from school the same day with fevers this is the studio for you. ( This happened multiple times and the administration did nothing) my child had the kid who came with a fever cough in her face and thought it was funny. This is the studio for you. 5. If you're looking for a studio where you volunteer over 600 hours in one year and are still treated like crap by the owner this is the studio for you. 6. If you are looking for a studio where parent volunteers basically manipulate to get what they want for their kids and are allowed to get away with whatever they want even lying and having other families ask to leave the studio ( after ten loyal years) this is the studio for you. 7. If you want parent drama, bullying ( by students and parents), and false accusations made about you that are never even investigated this is the studio for you. WFYB I give 4 out of 5 But DDI 1 out of 5 This studio has changed over the years and not for the best. If you are taking recreational classes you will probably be fine but if your child is asked to join any of the companies I would be very concerned. read more

Located in same shopping center as over the falls and Renaissance, this dance studio is larger than it looks from the outside. There are many dance classes going on at once. This has pluses and minuses in that it does get crowded at times. The plus side is that they offer a nice selection of lessons. The class my granddaughter is in is hip hop and they did have a change of teacher in the beginning but the transition has been ok. I like that they have TVs of the class so you can watch them, but due to the crowds, it isn't always possible to get a seat to watch. They do a winter performance as well as year end recital. read more

My daughter is 8 now and has loved dancing at DDI since she was 2! Great teachers & technique! My 2 year old is loving the creative movement and my 8yr old does hip-hip, jazz, ballet, and acro! she loves it all & all her teachers! read more

This place has some pluses and negatives. Most of the teachers are fantastic and the children look forward to going to class. This place is in a good location and there is ample parking. They offer a nice variety of classes. My child seems happy after he comes out of dance class. I have found very few dance studios around that offer classes for a working parent of a younger child. I've heard of some immature teachers when issues happen, but I will that check off as inexperience. Every time I take my child, there are a large amount of children loitering, which most of them are well behaved, but they do leave their personal items on chairs (rather than the lockers) to prevent other parents of young dancers (who are required to remain during class) to have a place to sit. My main issue is that they throw their policies in parents face continually. The policy handbook explains what respectful behavior is by kids, and parents, yet there is no indication of what a client will receive in regards to respect. The policies regarding payments and fees are explained initially (required and nonrefundable fees for costume, production fees), yet they still do fundraising for costumes/shows. read more

My daughter has developed a passion for dance under the guidance of the ballet teachers at DDI. They are knowledgable, patient, and professional. She is starting her third year and has had a very positive experience! read more

All three of my girls have been students at Destiny Dance over the years. The instructors are just stellar! I love them and I'm so appreciative of them all. The dance education Destiny Dance provides is comparable to a college level class my high schooler recently took. Not surprising, as these folks are some of the best in their business. Highly Recommend! Gina G read more

Destiny Dance has to be one of the best options in the Triangle when it comes to teaching the art of dance. My daughter started dancing when she was very small and stopped for years. When we found Destiny the instructors, all of which are or were at one time professional dancers many of whom are Ballet Masters, are outstanding. They teach your child not only to dance but to love the art of dance. My daughter looks forward to her dance classes and loves to perform. She's been learning Ballet at Destiny for the past 3 years now and we are extremely happy we chose Destiny. We recommend Destiny Dance Institute to anyone looking to give their son or daughter a love for the art of dance. read more

I am so glad we found Destiny Dance. After attending studio that was all about the glitz, glamour, and costumes, we were thrilled to find that Destiny is about DANCE, good technique and helping each dancer meet his/her potential. read more
