From the reviews

Best dance studio in the world! Changed my life and I highly recommend everyone take classes here and eventually join company! Ms. diane and all of the other teachers at DC are incredible!

★★★★★ — Julia, Jun 2017

Diane has created a fun, supportive, challenging, growth environment in which my 13-year old daughter has thrived. During these crazy COVID times, Diane has taken every precaution and come up with so many creative ways to keep the girls dancing safely and having fun.

★★★★★ — Monica, Oct 2020

We love this studio. Our daughter has been dancing with DC since she was 2.5 and she is now 8. It has been such a nurturing community for her. The teachers are very caring and talented. Miss Diane is tireless and such an inspiration. Tiffany runs a tight ship and helps me stay on top of the schedule.

★★★★★ — A, Apr 2023

DC Dance has become a 2nd home for my daughter. Miss Diane and her incredible faculty have not only taught the proper technique needed to grow as a dancer, but have also taught their students how to support each other and express their love of dance when they leave the studio.

Your first ballet class at DC Dance Los Angeles

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
