- What is your teaching philosophy?
At D&D our teaching philosophy is to encourage each dancer to be closer to their Destiny. What does this mean? Well, we believe that each dancer that steps foot into our studio has a goal, and weather that be just to have fun and stay motivated or to heal, or to have a dance family, we aim to get your exact plan taken care of and fulfilled. You may contact us directly through the website to see how these needs can be met and in fact they are encouraged!!
- How do you support dancers of varying skill levels?
We strive to ensure everyone is feeling challenged regardless of their skill level. Weather its ballet and you are on pointe, or you pick up choreography really fast. There is always room for improvement and with practice you can get closer to your Destiny. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your specific skill level, please let us know.
- What performance opportunities are available?
Considering we are just opening we have nothing planned as of yet but we will be having various performances and hopefully soon be going to competitions. But first we must ensure our choreography and confidence is set in stone to make this call. We will be updating everyone accordingly.
- How do you help students achieve their individual goals?
We strongly encourage you to voice your specific needs if they are not being met. We will begin with a well-rounded foundation that will suit most and seek what improvements need to be made. If we feel you need private lessons in order to improve on our team, we will encourage, because we want everyone to feel comfortable and not behind.
