Some Facts About Us
Dance should be FUN!
Bring on the BOYS!
We are proud to announce that Dana’s Studio of Dance offers more classes for boys than any other studio in the area. We teach them different styles of dance including hip hop, popping, breakdancing and other traditional forms of dance. A few places you might have seen our boys perform include the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Desperados and Dallas Diamonds half-time shows. Some of our boys have even gone on to perform and or choreograph for and with Jessica Simpson, Barney and Friends, Radio Disney, Orlando Ballet Company and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. DSOD strongly believes that dancing is not just for girls.

In each of our dance classes, your student will be taught by instructors who are passionate about dance, but understand everyone’s skills and interests are different. Our instructors help your dancer understand that dance is the gateway to so many other important life skills.
