💎 WELCOME TO OUR 2026 FALL SESSION! 🩷

Whether your family is brand new to Diamond Dance Studio or you’ve been dancing with us for years, we highly recommend taking a few minutes to go through our Fall Welcome Packet before classes begin! ✨

We’ve packed it with everything you’ll need to know to make the season as easy and stress-free as possible — including important dates, the session calendar, class descriptions, dress codes & shoes, payment information, studio policies, recital information, communication resources, helpful apps, and more!

There is A LOT that happens throughout a dance season, so this packet is your go-to resource whenever you have a question. We recommend saving it somewhere easy to find so you can reference it all season long! 📲

Most importantly, we are SO excited to have your family joining us for another season at DDS. We can’t wait to get everyone back into the classroom and officially kick off our 13th season! 💎🩷✨

Please take some time to read through the packet before your dancer’s first class!

💭 WHAT DO DANCE TEACHERS NOTICE FIRST?

Spoiler alert: it’s probably not how high your leg goes, how many turns you can do, or whether you have the most flexibility in the room. 💎

We notice effort. Attitude. Kindness. Focus. Coachability. How you treat your teammates. And your willingness to keep trying when something is hard. 🩷

Skills can be taught. Flexibility can improve. Technique can be strengthened. But the dancers who walk into class ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to support the people around them? Those are the dancers who stand out. ✨

So the next time you walk into class, remember: you don’t have to be the best dancer in the room. Just be ready to give YOUR best. 💎🩷

🥹💎 2014 ➡️ 2026… LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME!

From one location, a handful of dancers, and some very big dreams to four locations, 70+ competition dancers, recreational programs, award-winning teams, tumbling, camps, clinics, and a dance family that continues to grow every year. 🩷

It’s pretty surreal to look back at where Diamond Dance Studio started and see what it has become.

So much has changed over the last 13 seasons, but the heart behind DDS never has. Our goal has always been to create a place where dancers can build confidence, develop character, work hard, feel like they belong, and fall in love with dance. ✨

Every dancer, family, instructor, and supporter who has walked through our doors has played a part in this story. We wouldn’t be here without you.

In 2014, we had some big dreams… and somehow, they just keep getting bigger. 🥹💎🩷

💡 DID YOU KNOW?! 💎

There’s a whole lot of history, heart, and hard work behind Diamond Dance Studio! 🩷

What started in 2014 has grown into a dance family spanning multiple communities, serving dancers from age 2 through 18, and giving dancers the opportunity to participate in both recreational and competitive programs. ✨

But our favorite fact of all? Every dancer belongs here. 💎

For 13 seasons, our goal has been about so much more than teaching dance. We’re here to build confidence, create friendships, encourage hard work, and give our dancers a place where they feel supported, celebrated, and part of something special.

Here’s to another season of learning, growing, dancing, and making memories together! 🩷✨
