From the reviews
My daughter has been a part of the ZDDA family for 2 years. Monet' and the staff at ZDDA are amazing. Their care and dedication to the children is that of a family. Bringing the ideal of 'it takes a village' to a vibrant reality. My daughter enjoys her tap, hip hop, ballet and tumbling sessions.
ZD Dance Academy has been a great experience since the beginning. The moment I inquired about the programs offered, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome, whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer.
It was my first day at the dance studio. I felt so welcomed by the staff and the students. I got to learn a little bit of the dance routine and I’m very proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone!
My daughter started at ZD Dance Academy in September and my son joined in October, and the growth I’ve seen in both of them has been amazing. Their confidence, body positivity, and comfort with movement have all increased, and they’re even starting to take on acting roles at our church—something they never would’ve…
Your first ballet class at ZD 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.
