Testimonials

We love DDS!! My sisters danced here in high school and now my own daughters have been here for 5 years. The sense of community and the dance family is amazing. We love seeing our daughters grow as dancers with DDS!!

Clarissa

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this dance studio! From day one, the staff has been incredibly kind, inclusive, and supportive. They truly foster a sense of community and confidence in every child who walks through their doors. The communication is always clear and timely, which makes everything—from weekly classes to recital season—so much easier as a parent. Speaking of recitals, this year’s performance was flawlessly organized and absolutely magical. It was a joy to watch the dancers shine, and it’s clear how much heart and hard work the instructors put in behind the scenes. We feel so lucky to be part of such a warm and welcoming studio. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their child can grow not just as a dancer, but as a person!

I had a wonderful experience taking an adult summer ballet class at this studio. The instructor was knowledgeable, encouraging, and created a very positive environment. The studio itself was spotless and welcoming-will definitely be back!

Renee

This studio and its caring staff have helped my daughter grow into a wonderful, young performer and human being. She not only learns ballet, tap, and jazz, but also learns the importance of integrity, kindness, grit, positivity, and teamwork. I highly recommend this studio to any parent searching for a place that not only teaches high quality, precision dance, but also delivers significant life lessons:).

Dynamite Dance is incredible—welcoming, professional, and full of positive energy. I have been searching for adult dance classes for years, and am so happy to have found this studio. The instructors are not only talented but genuinely invested in each dancer’s growth. Classes are challenging, fun, and thoughtfully led. I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. Whether you’re new to dance or experienced, this place feels like home. Highly recommend!

Miss Tess and Miss Tina truly care about the personal as well as professional growth of their students. Have a very positive and nourishing approach to teaching.

Sue

My daughter has danced at Dynamite for the past 13 years. I have watched them become an amazing dance studio with a talented staff that love a variety of dance and all children. They teach them so much more than dance each week, kindness, responsibility, hard work, team work, dedication, and confidence while giving back to our community. I highly recommend these ladies and this studio.
