COMPARISON CHART
How Studio Dee Helps Young Dancers Learn, Grow, and Shine
Discover why dance and tumbling at Studio Dee offer a more enriching and well-rounded experience for your child’s development compared to traditional sports. Our Baby Ballerinas program focuses on early learning through movement, imagination, and safe progressions that help children grow with confidence and joy.
Traditional Sports
Less Emphasis on Personal Growth
Traditional sports often focus heavily on physical skills and competition, which can limit opportunities for emotional and personal development.
Potential for Exclusion
Competitive team selections may leave some children feeling left out or discouraged, especially those who are new or less experienced.
Overemphasis on Winning
The focus on winning and scores can take away from the joy of teamwork, learning, and self-expression.
Limited Individual Attention
In large teams, personalized coaching can be minimal, leaving less confident children without the guidance they need to grow.

Amazing studio! Love everything about Studio Dee!!
Venessa Gribble
We have been at Studio Dee since my daughter was 3 years old and we lived "down the road". She is now 8 and when we moved much further away we continued with Studio Dee, even with many closer dance options for us.
We love the staff at Studio Dee. They are passionate about the art, techniques and the kids and it is evident in all they do. My daughter has grown so much and it is amazing watching the kids grow in such a short period of time. The kids are challenged and encouraged to do their best.
The older students are amazing role models for the younger students and the culture at the studio encourages the mentoring.
The environment is very welcoming. My daughter and I have met lifelong friends at Studio Dee.
Emily Kiser
In the short time my daughter has been taking classes here, our experience has been wonderful at Studio Dee. We've tried a couple other local places for tumbling/dance classes but the environment wasn't always warm or welcoming for new students. Studio Dee has felt very inviting early on; the person I initially talked to on the phone to enroll my daughter in her class was extremely nice & helpful and the staff I've seen in the lobby have all been very friendly as well. All the kids seem genuinely happy & excited to be there, too. Ms. Victoria, my daughter's instructor, is absolutely delightful. She is so sweet with the kids and was great with my daughter recently after she was crying & feeling sad before her tumbling class. She came out smiling & giddy after the class was over. :) It feels so comforting as a parent knowing your child is in a safe & fun atmosphere with qualified professionals who clearly enjoy what they do.
Chelsea Marie
Been here for about a year now, we absolutely LOVE this studio. The staff is kind and caring. If you have any concerns they are quick to act and correct. They make sure all information is communicated clearly. You feel welcomed as soon as you enter the door. The dances and costumes are age appropriate. You can tell that the kids are genuinely cared for. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
