COMPARISON CHART
Why Studio Dee Offers More Than Traditional Sports
See how Studio Dee’s dance and tumbling programs in Fort Wright, Northern Kentucky, compare to traditional sports. Our approach offers a more balanced and fulfilling path for your child’s growth, confidence, and overall development.
TRADITIONAL SPORTS
Limited Focus on Holistic Development
Traditional sports often focus primarily on physical performance and competition, which can overlook emotional growth, creativity, and self-expression that are essential to a child’s well-being.
Risk of Exclusion
Competitive settings can make some children feel left out or discouraged if they are not among the strongest players. This can reduce motivation and limit their enjoyment of the activity.
Focus on Winning
A strong emphasis on winning can sometimes overshadow teamwork, sportsmanship, and the pure joy of participation, leading to unnecessary stress and pressure.
Limited Personal Attention
Because team sports must divide attention among many players, individualized coaching and personal progress can be more difficult to achieve.

Strong Foundations in Ballet and Tap
Building Balance, Strength, and Body Awareness
In Level 1 Ballet and Tap, students lay the groundwork for their technique while learning to move with confidence and precision. Ballet strengthens core muscles, posture, and alignment, teaching dancers how to control movement through balance and grace. Tap adds an energetic rhythm component that improves timing, coordination, and musicality. Together, these two styles establish physical discipline and the coordination skills that support all other forms of dance.
Instructors guide students through carefully structured exercises that help them connect movement to music and understand the value of practice and persistence. Every class encourages focus, patience, and progress, allowing students to see how small improvements add up to meaningful growth. These lessons build not only better dancers but also stronger, more confident individuals who carry these habits into daily life.
Key Highlights:
- Strengthens posture, balance, and coordination
- Builds rhythm and musical timing
- Encourages focus and attention to detail
- Supports self-confidence and perseverance
Jazz, Hip Hop, and Lyrical Foundations
Encouraging Creativity and Self-Expression Through Dance
As students strengthen their foundations, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Lyrical training invites them to explore expression, emotion, and individuality. Jazz focuses on energy, sharp technique, and flexibility, giving dancers confidence in both structure and style. Hip Hop teaches rhythm, coordination, and creativity, allowing students to express themselves freely through upbeat and engaging choreography. Lyrical connects storytelling and movement, helping students communicate emotion through flow and musical interpretation.
These styles work together to develop a well-rounded dancer who can move between techniques with confidence and ease. Instructors emphasize safe movement, body awareness, and positive self-expression, creating a fun and inclusive environment. Through repetition and encouragement, students learn that their unique movement style is something to be proud of.
Key Highlights:
- Builds flexibility, rhythm, and expressive performance
- Strengthens creativity and emotional awareness
- Encourages individuality and self-expression
- Teaches adaptability across multiple dance styles
Tumbling for Strength and Coordination
Developing Power, Flexibility, and Control
The Level 1 Tumbling program gives students a dynamic and engaging way to develop strength, control, and confidence. Classes are built around safe, proven progressions that emphasize the five key areas of tumbling: flexibility, strength, balance, limbering, and tumbling. Students practice foundational acrobatic movements such as forward rolls, bridges, handstands, and cartwheels, learning how to transition smoothly and safely between skills.
Each session focuses on gradual improvement through repetition and positive reinforcement. Instructors take the time to correct form and build each child’s ability step by step. The non-performance format allows students to progress at their own pace without pressure, focusing on improvement and enjoyment. Tumbling enhances body awareness, agility, and coordination skills that support every style of dance and prepare students for more advanced acrobatics in the future.
Key Highlights:
- Follows a safe, structured progression model
- Builds flexibility, strength, and core stability
- Improves balance, control, and confidence
- Reinforces proper form and safety in all movement

Instructors guide students through group choreography, team-building exercises, and skill challenges that strengthen both character and confidence.

Dee truly cares about each student, and the studio is run so smoothly. Miss Allie is a wonderful teacher and we hope to get her again next year!
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.
Tanya Copher
Amazing studio! Love everything about 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.
