From the reviews
There are no words. Tonight, our daughter, a Senior in High School danced her last Dance in this studio. For 12 years a student and 3 years as an Assistant she has been taught to dance, to respect and so much more. Diane, and her staff are an enigma in Kansas City and held in the highest regard but other Studios.
Just finished my daughter’s first dance recital and I was reminded of what an amazing group of people operate this dance studio. I danced at DSOD and now my daughter does. There’s no other place I’d want my daughter to attend! The costumes are modest, the music is appropriate, staff is professional.
I go here and it is amazing; all of the teachers are wonderful and very kind. They have raised many of generations of amazing dancers! If you are interested in being a part of an awesome recreational dance school this is the place to be !
This is an amazing dance studio, they are great with everyone and the girls do fantastic dancing. Great teachers, couldn't have asked for better. If you have your daughter dance anywhere but DSOD, you are doing it all wrong.
Your first ballet class at Diane's School of Dance
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.
