DC Dance Los Angeles

We love DC Dance! The studio is a great place for any child who is passionate about dance and is willing to work hard. The entire staff is wonderful and the teachers are very talented. I'm always impressed by their recitals, true art!

We love this studio. Our daughter has been dancing with DC since she was 2.5 and she is now 8. It has been such a nurturing community for her. The teachers are very caring and talented. Miss Diane is tireless and such an inspiration. Tiffany runs a tight ship and helps me stay on top of the schedule. The older dancers are just incredible and we love watching the shows. Highly highly recommend.

DC Dance has become a 2nd home for my daughter. Miss Diane and her incredible faculty have not only taught the proper technique needed to grow as a dancer, but have also taught their students how to support each other and express their love of dance when they leave the studio. I feel so lucky to have found a safe, nurturing environment with quality training.

Diane has created a fun, supportive, challenging, growth environment in which my 13-year old daughter has thrived. During these crazy COVID times, Diane has taken every precaution and come up with so many creative ways to keep the girls dancing safely and having fun. With all of my daughter’s school classes online, being able to get out of the house every night and dance in person with her friends, socially distant, wearing masks, in small pods or in outdoor parking lot classes has been a godsend!!

This is a special place for your child. Nurturing, supportive and the instructors are amazing! My daughter danced there for over 13 years and has a wonderful network of dance friends. Diane, thank you for all you do ❤️

Best dance studio in the world! Changed my life and I highly recommend everyone take classes here and eventually join company! Ms. diane and all of the other teachers at DC are incredible!

Miss Debby is hands down the best dance teacher out there. Her ability to render excellent customer service, with top notch instruction is the reason I recommend her to all of my friends and family!

Incredible teachers, choreography and opportunity for young dancers

Ms Diane, You are a consummate educator and artist. Your dance company centers the health wellbeing and creativity of girls and women - really and truly. It's a special special community. And truly with love - pay no never mind to all those who doubt or criticize. You're raising children to be strong and express themselves. My family, my daughter are all so grateful to be within your good company!!!

Words cannot express my love for DC Dance, Ms. Diane and all her wonderful teachers. We have been at DC Dance for about 8 years and love it! My daughter started by taking a couple of classes and is now a company member. The love and appreciation of dance is at the heart of every class and in every instructor. A wonderful supportive staff and the girls who attend couldn't be lovelier. Along with the discipline of dance the girls are taught a focus that applies to all areas of their life. Dc Dance is my daughters safe haven when other areas of life get hectic. Everyone at DC makes her feel less bed, accepted and welcome at all times. If you are trying to choose a dance studio look no further than DC Dance and Diane Collins.

One of the best competitive dance studios for kids and teens in LA! Diane has created an incredibly fun, supportive, challenging, growth environment in which my 13-year old daughter has thrived. During these crazy COVID times, she has taken every precaution and come up with so many creative ways to keep the girls dancing safely, smiling and having fun. With all of my daughter's school classes online, being able to get out of the house every night and dance in person with her friends, socially distant, wearing masks, in small pods or in outdoor parking lot classes has been a godsend!! Contact the studio to try a class today!

Miss Diane and her staff are wonderful people and fantastic teachers. My daughter has been there since she was 2.5 and it has become such a special place for us. With the stay at home order in place, Miss Diane has really stepped up to create a virtual environment that keeps the kids engaged. She is a gift, as are all her teachers, and her daughter/teacher Reese. Tiffany, the manager is fabulous too. This is a kind and talented company. As well, the recitals always blow us away. We love them!

This dance studio brought my child back to life when she was lost. My daughter would have come home and done nothing but now thanks to DC dance she has something look forward to and work on with her friends.

If you've ever had the pleasure of attending a DC Dance Center recital, you'd notice a few things: - The talent, dedication and enthusiasm of the dancers, from the littlest "Tiny Tutus" toddlers to the incredible high school seniors - The stunning choreography, costumes and musical direction, all overseen by Miss Diane and her amazing team of instructors - The diversity and body positivity that make DC Dance a healthy place for growing girls I'm so happy we found DC Dance Center! The teachers really know how to balance strong dance education with fun, so my kids keep wanting more. I look forward to many years of ballet, hip-hop, tap, jazz and whatever else inspires them.

DC Dance has continued to be the supportive, welcoming studio that we found a few years ago. Even through this pandemic, Diane and her faculty have found ways to keep my daughter engaged and loving the opportunity to dance. Virtual classes, outdoor parking lot classes, safety in small pods... DC will continue to be an important part of my daughters life for years to come.

My daughter has been dancing at DC Dance Center for three years - and we could not say enough great things about this school! We finally came upon DC after going through two other schools that did not seems to have the the right combination of excellent instruction and a fun environment. When she started at DC she knew she was home. Our daughter absolutely loves this school and would dance every day if she could. She loves all of the instructors and their dedication. Diane is amazing, she has really created something special here.

My son took a hip hop class (first time he has ever asked to join a class) at this studio. My husband took him to this first class and while it was disorganized with no check in etc... he really enjoyed it and was happy with it being low key and friendly. The owner even told him after that if he could perform in the recital if he wanted or just enjoy the class and not perform. He felt like he could learn the routine and wanted to perform. So I signed up online, committee to the class, changed my daughters after school schedule and was looking forward to the next week. A few hours before the next class I got a message from my friend who referred me saying the owner wants us to start in the fall and not now due to the recital. I left a message to speak with her directly about this and her assistant called me back - who was extremely rude and dismissive. Now a week later the owner still has not called me to explain or apologize for disappointing a new student who was excited to join or causing inconvenience to our family who scheduled around the 6 week Monday commitment we signed up for. This is something we were so excited about - had already told several people about it as a referral and then ended up so disappointment by not continuing and how it was handled.

My daughter (now in high school) has been dancing here since preschool. DC Dance and Diane Collins are so much more that just a studio and studio owner. It sounds corny, but it really is her second home. We have checked out other studios over the years and nothing compares. DC teachers and their instruction (in all styles of dance) are outstanding. But beyond being technically excellent, the nurturing environment and support of the dancer's physical and emotional well being puts DC on a completely different plane. DC Dance is that special place which we all wish existed when we were growing up.

We just moved to West LA. I really didn't want to sign up here, because the parking stinks and the waiting room is cramped. But my kids LOVE the instructors, they adore Ms. Diane, the hip hop class is so fun, that my 5 & 7 year olds beg to come back every week. We did several drop-ins at 3-4 other studios with much bigger waiting rooms where I could actually bring my laptop and work a little...but No, it's not about my comfort. It's really about the DANCE, and DC Dance Center delivers every time! My kids are young, so they do not compete or anything, they have fun here, it's a nurturing environment and that's all that matters.

My daughter started taking ballet at DC Dance when she was 2 years old. It was all about putting on a tutu and twirling around the studio once a week. 11 years later, she is still there and now spends 4 days a week at the studio taking 14 hours of classes. It is her home away from home and she LOVES it. The studio offers a broad range of classes and teaching disciplines. The recitals are beautifully choreographed. Miss Diane gets to know each and every dancer and their family. It's not shiny and new like some of the other studios around town but it's a genuine family and staying at DC was the best decision we made for my daughter's pursuit of her dancing passion.

We love DC Dance! My daughter has been dancing here ten years, since she was three years old, and this is truly her home away from home. The teachers here care about technique and imparting a passion for dance to the students. They also nurture and support the girls, who they come to know well over many years. The studio offers a wide mix of dance classes as well as performance options, from competition teams to both a winter and a spring recital. What's most important to my daughter, though, is the community of girls and teachers she's found here. Miss Diane is running a special place.

Dancing at DC Dance has truly been a wonderful experience for my daughter. What we love about the studio is that it offers the right balance of developing a love of dance, teaching correct technique, and providing a supportive and nurturing environment. Many of the girls graduate high school with DC Dance, having started there as preschoolers, a testament to the talented, caring and supportive teachers. It's such a gift to have a positive and inspiring place for my daughter to dance. DC Dance provides the highest quality of dance instruction, and even more importantly, it builds poise and confidence in the girls. My daughter has made wonderful friends, too!

I cannot say enough about the DC Dance Center -- the teachers are amazing and the level of dance is so high. I have four daughters and they've all taken classes at DC. Students are given a strong foundation in ballet and dance essentials at a young age and then the level progresses from there. Just ask for sample view of the choreography at the performances, it is really impressive. The environment is positive and supportive yet pushes the students to strive and grow. An amazing place for dance students!

My two daughters go to the Dance Center, we love this place, my older one has been going to dance and theater for many years now and she enjoys it very much as well as the little one. Ms Diane is a very professional and passionate teacher as well as all her staff. I also feel they provide a safe environment for the children that boosts their self confidence. I will definitely recommend this place to any parent and I think my girls will continue attending for many years.
