From the reviews
My daughter has been attending DDA for the past 4 years, and I couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism.
We've been part of DDA for 3 years now, and we absolutely love it! The dance teachers are incredible—skilled, patient, and truly passionate about what they do (especially our loved Ms. Carey). The entire staff is always so helpful and welcoming.
My girls have been going to DDA for two years and love it there. We love being part of the DDA family. They’re super organized, responsive, have a lot of classes to choose from.
We absolutely love DDA! Our daughter has been taking classes since September of 2020 and we cannot say enough about how much we love the teachers and staff at this studio! They’ve helped her learn to love dance, built her confidence, and helped her grow in so many ways!
Your first ballet class at DDA Dance Academy
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.
