COMPARISON CHART
Discover the Lasting Benefits of Dance and Tumbling at Studio Dee
Dance and tumbling offer so much more than physical activity. Both disciplines support your child’s overall growth by nurturing physical strength, emotional confidence, and social development. See how our Grades 1-2 dance and tumbling programs provide a well-rounded approach to learning, teamwork, and personal growth compared to traditional sports.
TRADITIONAL KIDS SPORTS
Less Focus on Whole-Child Development
Many sports focus primarily on physical performance and competition, leaving fewer opportunities to nurture creativity, emotional awareness, and personal expression.
Risk of Exclusion
In some team settings, newer or less-experienced players may not receive equal attention or participation time, which can lead to frustration or discouragement.
Pressure of Competition
While friendly competition can be motivating, too much focus on winning can create stress and take away from the joy of learning and playing.
Limited Individualized Attention
Coaches working with large teams often cannot provide consistent, personalized feedback for every child, which may slow progress and limit confidence-building opportunities.

My daughter came from one studio in 9th grade to this studio. Teachers and dancers welcomed her as one of their own. Studio has loving and caring teachers and is wonderful for recreational classes as well as competitive dancing. The studio owner, Dee, is amazing and takes time to get to know all of the students. Every teacher is hand picked by Dee and amazing. Can’t recommend this studio enough for tiny dancers as well as older!

Studio Dee is more than just a dance studio. It has become a second home to us. The dance instructors and studio owner, Dee, truly care about the dancers and treat them like family.

I highly recommend Studio Dee!! The best studio in town!!!
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.
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!!!
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.
