Just finished my daughter’s first dance recital and I was reminded of what an amazing group of people operate this dance studio. I danced at DSOD and now my daughter does. There’s no other place I’d want my daughter to attend! The costumes are modest, the music is appropriate, staff is professional.
My experience with DSOD had been wonderful. I have 3 daughters who attend classes but are also involved in other sports. Diane's has always been supportive of my girls being active in other activities and never pressured them to make dance a 1st priority. I also appreciate their acceptance of all students no matter body type or ability. Every child should have the opportunity to enjoy dance.
This is an amazing dance studio, they are great with everyone and the girls do fantastic dancing. Great teachers, couldn't have asked for better. If you have your daughter dance anywhere but DSOD, you are doing it all wrong.
There are no words. Tonight, our daughter, a Senior in High School danced her last Dance in this studio. For 12 years a student and 3 years as an Assistant she has been taught to dance, to respect and so much more. Diane, and her staff are an enigma in Kansas City and held in the highest regard but other Studios. Truly, Michael Jackson rehearsals were held there. Yes, that Michael. None better than DSOD.
I've been dancing here for nine years and it's amazing! The teachers are super nice and they understand if you mess up. They teach tap, jazz, hip hop, ballet, Pointe, and more. The dances that they teach are appropriate and so are the costumes. The recitals are the best. They have one every year in May at the Kansas City Music Hall. If you are considering signing you or your child up, do it! It's defenetly worth the money!

Where every step builds confidence and joy in dance for all ages and abilities.
