Although she was a high school junior she was warmly welcomed into her new family of tiny dancers with stars in their eyes, bun-heads with amazing technique and well-rounded dancers trained in a wide variety of dance styles. More importantly for her was falling in love with dance again. So much so she auditioned for DIPAC's pre-pro, The Thriving Artist Project, and has been growing exponentially with training from some of the best faculty and guest artists in the industry.

If I could give this studio more stars I would! We were at the studio for a year and it was the…read morebest year of my kids lives! My son has ADHD and they not only embraced him, but develped his technique and he thrived! My daughter is very young and only did the recreation program, but all of the teachers (especially Tammy and cooper) were absolutely amazing! Because of DI both of my kids are way above their age level in all genres from just one year of dancing there. The staff is extremely professional, and the owner is just so on top of everything at the studio. The best part of the studio is that none of the teachers or staff (Including the owner) get involved with ANY of the drama at the studio. They place the kids where they will do the best in technique and maturity wise. The only reason why we left is because we moved out of state, however we are going back every year for some of the conventions they participate in so we have the chance to dance with them. They care about molding your dancer into a professional dancer, not just a competitive dancer who stops dancing at 18 when they age out of competitions. They work with the seniors in getting them into the right collages and help them earn scholarships to pay for tuition. The owner and staff are well connected as well to get your foot in the door if you want to go more towards the entertainment industry. The ballet program is top notch with dancers that get into the most prestigious dance schools. (They have placed at least 3 dancers at Juilliard last year). They also have great adult ballet, tap, and hop hop classes that are so much fun! If you have the opportunity to go to DI do it! It was the best decision for our whole family made in dance we have ever made.

She has been given the tools and opportunity to work hard and become a member of the youth ballet.

I cannot recommend this studio due to the toxic attitude of the jazz and ballet instructor Miss…read moreDanielle Hecker. While the technical training is acceptable, the teacher regularly accuses parents of making up excuses when a student must miss. Life happens. Instead of showing understanding, this instructor shames parents and questions our honesty even to the our own child. A positive recreational activity should not feel like an interrogation. We will be taking our business to a studio that respects families and models basic empathy. This issue was brought to Lindsay DiGiuseppe's attention, who decided to ignore what this teacher did.

So amazing! Absolutely love Tricia Kali and all instructors. The light love and energy is simply…read moreunmatched!

It's so wonderful to do something different on a Friday night and support local artists. From what…read moreI can gather each show is a little different? We went with past Friday. The "magic parlor" is in a space on Exposition near Fair Park. There's street parking or a couple of paid lots if the street is full. The space is pretty small, but didn't feel cramped with 50 or so guests. I booked my ticket online for $20 through Prekindle. You can also pay another $10 to reserve seats in the front two rows. We strolled in and they checked us in. Seats were first come first serve so we were in the very back. My friend brought in his cooler of booze, but I also noticed there were a few free bottles of wine at the front and some bottle water. Very nice! David Jessup a local comedian opened the show and was the MC all night between acts with the help of Audrey Grace who opened and closed the curtains and held up the applause sign when David was bombing (haha). There were a couple of burlesque dancers at this show. One, Bethany Summersizzle, danced a few times. The other, Jai Le Bait did crazy stunts like swallow a knife! Confetti Eddie is the main performer and he reminded me of the old timey black and white movies where the folks didn't talk. He was so cute and charming. He did a few corny magic tricks that were still very fun to watch! Popper Zander was on hand this Friday night and played a few songs of her own that went well the night's burlesque/side show theme. Overall we had such a fun night. It's kind of awesome turning your cell phone off for an hour or so and enjoying a show with live performers. Keep up with Confetti Eddie on FB to see the next upcoming shows!

We saw the Fright Night act and had a great time…read more Prior to the show beginning we had the chance to watch two magicians perform - one who performed magic with rings and one who performed magic with cards. Both were very good and the tricks were fun. The venue is very intimate and had only seats 50 or so - which meant that virtually all of the audience had the chance to participate in the show at some point. The show itself had several acts along with two musical interludes from the Wild Natives (who were also quite good). Afterwards the performers invite the audience for drinks at one of the bars close by. We had a great time and would recommend it.
