DDC is awesome. My girls have danced here for many years and they absolutely love it. The studio provides a wide range of dance styles and levels of classes. The instructors are kind, caring, and professional. They carry out the studio’s mission of not just teaching dance, but also that of empowering young students to follow their dreams.

Our daughter started dance "late in life" at 14. She began at District Dance after only one year of dance and they were SO accommodating and helpful in finding the right classes! Now in her second year at District Dance, she is learning, being mentored, and thoroughly enjoys helping in a class of younger students. The studio is well organized in all communications--upcoming dates, payment, and sharing information about staff!

This studio is dedicated to finding the best teachers; those that are talented dancers, good teachers and work well with children. They also empower their dancers with special programs and leadership opportunities. My daughter tried a class here 3 1/2 years ago and after 10 minutes in class walked out happier than I had ever seen her in her prior dance studios. She loves dance, her teachers and the fabulous group of friends that she has made. The only bad night for her is one when she isn’t at District Dance Company.

My daughter is 3 years old and attends dance here. She loves the teachers and teaching me what she learns in class. Everyone in the staff is welcoming and very helpful. They have the small necessicities that… dancers may need on hand some for purchase, as well as some to borrow. My favorite is the different photo prop things they do for events and holidays. I would definately recommend them to anyone interested in enrolling their children in a dance program!

We love District Dance! Going to ballet/tap class is the highlight of my daughter's week! We especially love how nice everyone is. Miss Lisa is amazing. She goes out of her way to get to know the girls, and is such an encouragement! My 5 year old has blossomed and become so confident in herself since starting dance. Thank you to everyone!

I’ve loved District Dance since day one. They have always been very welcoming. Love the family oriented feel. My daughter Mariah loves her class and LOVES her teacher Ms. Lisa. Another great fact (let’s be honest) the prices for the classes can’t be matched. I plan on bringing my mini for as long as I’m here💜

This studio is hands down one of the best I've been to. I am very impressed with the amount of technique my child has learned in such a fun and patient environment. The instructor (Ms. Lisa) and her assistant (Ms. Izzy) are very professional and take the time to make sure that each dancer is getting the most out of class.

My nine year old has been dancing at District Dance since she was four and we couldn't be happier. The studio offers options for all ages, abilities and commitment levels. The instructors love what they do and it shows - they are cheerful, fun and supportive. They challenge the students while still making the classes fun, which is the best combination.

We have been at several studios in the area. This is the BEST! Melissa is extremely organized and professional. You get all information and dates in advance. You know exactly what is expected of you and your dancer. Even when we had a problem in one of the classes, Melissa responded quickly and appropriately to find my daughter the best class for her. Highly recommend!
