From the reviews
My aunt and uncles have been taking their kids to Miss Dianna's for 10+ years. I've been taking my daughter for 3 years, and I couldn't be happier. The rates are low, the building is nice and big, 4 dance floors I think. They teach hip hop, jazz, ballet and other types idk...
My daughter has been at this studio since she turned 3 years old. The teachers are awesome and make you feel more like family than just a customer. I highly recommend this dance studio.
My daughter has and still dances at MDSOD, as a shy kid with stage fright we decided to "try" it out... she was hooked. From recital classes to now competitive team they have got my daughter out of her shell and rid of stage fright. They have pushed her to grow as a person and a dancer.
We are new to Miss Dianna's and we absolutely love it! Julie is amazing! It was extremely busy the night we signed up and she patiently helped us with a smile! We have Coach Alex for hip hop class. I appreciate his relaxed but disciplined teaching style. All the staff members are really welcoming.
Adult ballet at Miss Dianna's School of Dance
Miss Dianna's School of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Miss Dianna'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.
