Trying to Decide Between a Few Different Studios? Since opening our doors in 1978, over 10,000 students have taken dance classes at Debbie’s Dance Studio. We started as a very small studio, but have grown to become the most established studio in the Decatur/Monticello Area.
It’s our instructors that make us unique. Our instructors have been trained in Los Angeles and attend frequent dance conventions and seminars to stay up-to-date on current techniques and dance styles. In a fun, energetic and positive environment students develop a joy of movement through dance, a sense of rhythm, improved coordination and posture, and learn an active way to express creativity.
As a parent we realize you have a choice between several different dance studios. All schools are not the same. We provide ongoing training to our staff to ensure we are always providing our students and parents with the best experience possible.
Today, as in 1978, there are several different studios to choose from. We invite you to compare all of the features and options to see why our school has been chosen more than any other dance school in the Decatur and Monticello area.
I am extremely grateful to all of you for helping to make this recital a success! I have enjoyed watching your children develop their technique and grow into wonderful performers. It is truly an honor to teach and instill in them a passion for dance. I sincerely appreciate the support you've given me, and the studio. Thank you! Dancers, you were all AMAZING in the recital! Continue to dance and make your dreams come true.
Love, Debbie
