Professional Dance Instructors with a family atmosphere. The instructors can watch your child after one hour and know what level they need and what their potential is. They are always professional but also are warm and friendly. My daughters adores all the instructors. She is 8 years old, we have been at Diamond now for 1 year, and my only regret is that I didn’t find this studio sooner!
