I am so impressed. FINALLY !! The kind of studio that
Orlando has needed for years. With a fantastic teaching
staff ! As soon as you can, expand to the entertainment
side of Orlando. We have so many dancers here that are
looking for a studio with this caliber of staff and
classes. I will definitely be sending dancers your way!
Keep us posted .

I teach ballet in another state, but my niece dances
at your studio. When I visited this summer I was amazed
in the difference I saw in my niece's performance.
I hope the parents realize what they have.
...S, Ballet Instructor
I want to say how impressed we are with everything.
The sacrifice is well worth it for us to be in this fine
situation. Let me just say that everybody has been
so professional and kind, including the other students.
They have been critical to my daughter's happiness, in
addition to all the instructors and staff. SO THANK YOU
FOR A GREAT SUMMER!!! ...

I have had such an amazing experience at DCO this
summer. I'm learning all the reasons why we do stuff the
way we do. I'm also learning a lot of hints and tips on
how to get certain steps, poses, and moves faster and
better. At the other studio I exceeded very little over
the summer and even in regular fall classes but in just
one summer here I have improved so much.
The teachers are
amazing. They are the type that aren't just there
for the job but they are there because they want to
help you, they want to see you improve and rise to
their expectations. They are very sweet to all of us
in class. They know who is capable of what and they
don't push you to where you are so stressed, they
push you just the right amount to get stronger and
better.
My friends and I have all had an outstanding time
here. We finally have a chance at accomplishing our
dreams. The atmosphere is clean, warm, and very
positive. We all respect each other and help each other.
We want to see each other get stronger. With this
studio, support from our friendships (with adults, kids,
and teachers), and the focus everyone will grow stronger
(in self-esteem, attitude, dance, etc.) I really want to
thank all who put so much hard work and effort into
getting the studio up and running. I appreciate it SO
very much and I know everyone else does too. Thank You
... J, student
Thank you for providing top notch instruction. (My
daughter) has learned so much in the past couple of
weeks. She's doing things I've never even heard of
before... She's coming home sore, tired, and challenged!
She's so happy! My little one loved her friends at (her
previous studio)... When I asked her if she could go
back in time would she still leave and come here... She
replied "Mom, that place is not for serious dancers,
have you seen what I have learned! I miss my friends...
But they can visit me if they want... I love this place!
So, that being said... I don't care if you are
teaching dance in a garage we will be there! Time flies
and we'll be in that new studio in no time :)

Let me take a moment to thank you for everything you
have done for our children this summer, and for the hope
you have given us of a long and happy life together
dancing. This plan you came up with was so self-less and
generous an idea that many of us were completely amazed
that someone would be willing to go to such lengths for
us and our children. And I continue to be amazed at the
tremendous progress I have seen, not just in my child,
but in all her friends.
The teachers are
beyond amazing, the atmosphere at the studio is
warm, loving, and nurturing. And the friendships we
share (between the children, the parents and the
teachers equally) are a source of joy and comfort.
(My daughter) and I look forward to spending the
rest of our lives with you and DCO!

My daughter and I have been so delighted with the
progress she has made this summer and the 5 weeks prior.
It was like a year and a half in the previous studio
years. She got physically stronger and more
controlled. The concentration of technique is what
any serious dance needs.
The teachers are
fantastic, their backgrounds phenomenal. To be
taught by so many experienced professionals, all of
whom have so much patience with the kids, is really
inspiring for the parents and the kids.
The opportunity to have Karla and Jonathan visit the
studio was really cool and to know that the kids will
have other opportunities like that (the NTG competition
DCO is hosting in October and the Rockette Auditions in
December). It will also be great to perform rather
than just at competitions.
We thank you, thank you, thank you... for this
opportunity to be involved with something at the start
which is only going to grow into the dance standard of
excellence and quality here in the Orlando metro area.

You have no idea how blessed I feel that (my
daughter) and I can be part of your dance family and
your dream. I foresee that this studio is going to be an
enormous success. How could it not be with the amazing
people behind it who put their heart and soul into a
commitment to making it a success. You rescued us from a
bad situation that seemed to have no refuge. Many, many
thanks to you, your brother, (son) and these awesome
dance teachers for all that you do for our children!
... Kat,
parent
The thanks goes to you. You are the one who made this
possible for our kids. Even though (my daughter) missed
out on a lot of it (because of an injury), just those 2
weeks when she did participate and the other 2 when she
was there...she learned so much.
I was amazed at
the things she came back home with. She loved it
there and is working hard to get her ankle better so
she can start dancing when the others do. She knew
right away what a huge difference there was between
your studio and the "other" one.
Fantastic job pulling this together. I know that the
parents involved with DCO are all great people who would
be willing to jump in and help anytime you need us. Lots
of love and much gratitude for the vision to come up
with this for our kids.
... Nancy, parent
Both my guys have had a great time this summer. I
really appreciate the warmth and support that has been
extended to my boys (and me too!) by you and all the
staff, and also by all of their friends.
... Tanya, parent
It has been an absolute AMAZING summer. The growth
both technically and educationally that they have
experienced was a joy to watch. It only gives us a
glimpse of what is to come. So a HUGE thank you for
everything the past few weeks and everything coming! DCO
already IS "the best dance studio in the area".
... Amy, parent
Since I am a teacher and had the fortune of having
the summer off from work, I was able to witness a
portion of the summer camp in action. Although my
daughter did not attend the camp everyday, what I did
see was truly remarkable.
I observed the
most talented teachers in the whole area share their
gifts with our children who have all made
significant progress in a very short amount of time,
a wonderful, heartwarming camaraderie form between
all of the kids, and parents develop lasting
friendships with each other.
This was absolutely refreshing and in stark contrast
to the environment we left last spring. I would call
your efforts a real labor of love. And for this, (we)
are extremely grateful to each one of you and thrilled
to be members of the DCO family. We look forward to many
wonderful years together.
