The DA Dance Center

I have been dancing here for years and it has been the best experience! Everyone is so encouraging and easy to work with, The DA Dance center is my second home!!

If I could leave zero stars for this place I would definitely leave zero stars they are rude from the teachers and the owners all the way down to the parents if you want drama in your life this is the place for you if you want instruction from people who feel like care about your kids this is not the place

Please do not take your children to this place. If you're not in their inner circle, you're not important, the owner and her daughter are very rude. They allow their dance moms that are in the inner circle yell and curse and scream at people and I'm sure they all got a pretty good laugh after it was all over about it her standing up and screaming at us to get out of her fucking seats right now! And that wasn't the first time after I had had surgery, I went to my granddaughter's first performance at their school, and had gotten permission to sit down, I chose a seat in the back to be away from everybody and her little clique of people came running up to my seat and told me I couldn't sit there that I had to get out after I had already been told that I could sit there, and they didn't just tell me one time they stood over me as if they were going to make sure that I did their bidding. which I didn't. Move me. And now my granddaughter who has been dancing since she was 18 months old has decided that dance teachers are mean and she doesn't want to dance anymore. She's lost her love for it things to these people. So be very mindful of who you choose to mentor or teach your children anything because these people have broken my granddaughters spirit. Yesterday was her last recital ever in life because she feels like she's been bullied. She doesn't feel like anybody in the dance community cares about her in the least and she doesn't want to dance anymore. Thank you DAnn. thank you Shawna. I hope you're laughing because you're sure you're not dancing and you're sure not inspiring other people's kids to dance and less they are part of your petty little Bs clique. The fact that you didn't call that mom down when she interrupted your recital by screaming profanities just shows what kind of people you are. I hope you're happy. I plan on making up my business to let people know how you treat kids at cheer dance school and I use the term school loosely.

My daughter started dancing here at age 3 and had since started dancing as part of the competition team for the last four years. She tends to be a shy, reserved girl but being apart of this dance studio has made her come out of her shell so much. DA Dance center is a big part of our life and family. She has made friends and always enjoys going to dance. She loves performing and loves ALL the teachers who she has had. We are grateful for this studio and plan to be here for years to come!

I joined the DA Dance Center in the third grade and have been grateful everyday since. They helped me step out of my comfort zone and taught me the grace, skill, and patience it takes to become a dancer. Through this company I found my love for dance as well as a family. Dance is a creative, athletic, and fun outlet for kids, teens, and adults. I encourage everyone to enroll at this studio and begin their dance journey today!

I signed my daughter up for a trial class. Although I had a few issues with the studio (thought the front desk clerk was very short with me when I asked a few questions about shoes and attire, the floor was very dirty, and throughout the time I was there, there were other girls doing cartwheels and talking loudly in the hallway, which was distracting to the classes in session), my daughter loved the class, so I signed her up that evening (Monday). That Friday evening, I received an email saying that the class conflicted with one of their other classes and they were going to change it to Tuesday. Tuesday didn't work for our schedule so I called the next day to request a refund, which I was told I would receive. On Sunday, I received another email saying they decided not to change it to Tuesday, they were just going to move it to start a half hour later on Monday. By that time, I had already enrolled at another studio and called again and reiterated that I wanted a refund. The woman was very short with me and made me feel as though I was in the wrong wanting to cancel enrollment. Although I ultimately received my money back, I felt the entire situation was very unprofessional and I expect a reputable dance studio to be able to create a class schedule without moving the classes around 3 times!

My daughter has been dancing here for over 10 yrs. We love dancing here. The studio has created a 2nd home for us. We love that this studio also offers classes for special needs kids that we love performing with at our shows. Shawna and crew have big hearts and talented instructors. Our recitals are fun and fabulous. Having a visual learner in school, dance has totally helped my daughter to succeed in school also. Is dance a cheap sport? No. There's costumes, lessons, competitions, hotels, travel expenses, etc. (No matter which studio you are at.) But... the feeling of watching your child perform with confidence on stage in a solo or with their team is breathtaking and amazingly exciting and fun. A few of my favorites: the studio performing at the Concord Tree Lighting, our girls LEADING the Disney parade down Main Street! Our studio holiday pot luck party. Best thing I ever did was sign up! Love all of our teachers!

Danns has always been a place my daughter has been accepted and taught. Chelsea is an amazing teacher for little ones and as I have watched the older dancers grow up they are really a big family and the take good care of the kids. I think the negative review on here probably wanted something closer to a YMCA class that's cheap and basic. They do a great job and let the kids have fun. Owner is there regularly and will answer whatever questions you want. If they join competition it can get expensive but I think it's worth it.

I have been a dancer on and off with this studio for the better part of 29 years. They are truly more of a family than anything else. I have made life long friends that I consider family and learned invaluable life lessons all while learning how to dance tap, ballet, jazz, etc. They always have a knowledgeable staff on hand to answer any questions. They put on professional quality recitals twice a year to showcase what the students have been learning in their classes. If you're looking to enroll your child or yourself and enjoy a comfortable, family feeling and inviting setting then this is the studio for you! D'Ann's has always welcomed all people with open arms and these are just a few reasons why I love this place!

Sign my daughter up for classes there every Saturday. Not too happy with the services my daughter had a substitute teacher which didn't know the routine at all and winged it for day. The place is always cold inside I have to bundle up my kid to take her to dance class. Not only do we pay $70 a month for one class a week, when it came to the recital we had to pay an extra $140 for the costume and it came with one ticket to the show. What about the households that have two parents? For $70 a month and the extra $140 for the "costume" I feel that you should be able to take some of that money that they get per child, and clean up your facility.
