From the reviews

As a diPA parent, the Vice President of Business Development at diPA, and a proud husband of 29 years to the Founder and Executive Director, Lashaun Dodds, I’m honored to share this review. I’ve known Mrs. Dodds since we were teenagers, back when she founded the Howard University Bisonettes.

★★★★★ — Curtis, Jul 2025

My daughter attending this dance school has been an incredibly rewarding journey. From the very beginning, the focus on discipline and technique was clear. Every class is structured to challenge the students while helping them grow both as a dancer and as an individual.

Your first ballet class at diPA Dance Classes and Dance Studio - Douglasville

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.
