From the reviews
As a dancer at DHDC, I can safely say that it is one of my favorite places in the world. Every dance is immediately welcomed into our family and it's a great place for dancers who are just starting out!
I hired Josh to teach a workshop at the studio I currently work at in Canton, GA last summer. My students absolutely ADORED him and had the best time learning contemporary choreo/improving with him. One of my students completely opened up in his class and found her love of improv during that workshop.
I have danced here for almost 5 years, and I have loved every minute of it. Dance is what I love doing, and the amazing teachers and the friends I have made make it that much better. The teachers have helped me improve as a dancer and person, and I wouldn't be where I am today without my dance family.
Josh is the reason my daughter went to Druid Hills Dance Center. He is an exceptional teacher with remarkable skills. His passion for teaching while showing huge amounts of compassion and support for his dancers is just awesome.
Your first ballet class at Druid Hills Dance Center
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.
