DDA Dance Academy has been an incredible experience for our family over the past three years! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The dance teachers are not only talented and dedicated but also truly care about each student’s growth and confidence. The administrators are organized, friendly, and always go the extra mile to create a positive environment.
DDA feels like a second family to us, and we couldn’t be happier with the instruction, support, and sense of community they provide. If you’re looking for a dance studio that combines top-notch training with a nurturing atmosphere, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

We've been part of DDA for 3 years now, and we absolutely love it! The dance teachers are incredible—skilled, patient, and truly passionate about what they do (especially our loved Ms. Carey). The entire staff is always so helpful and welcoming. My daughters have grown so much in both confidence and skill, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend DDA to anyone looking for a fantastic dance studio, especially for little ones like mine!

Both of my daughters have been going to DDA since they were just under 2.5 years old, and they are now 4 and 7. Ms Deana and her staff are some of the kindest, friendliest and pleasant people I’ve met. The girls have fun, learn a lot (about dance, teamwork, commitment, and how to move their bodies), and gain confidence. Whether we are signed up for a dance class, a holiday camp, a daddy daughter dance, or a birthday party, we feel part of the family and always have a good time. Both of my girls have a love of dance thanks to DDA. 🩷

Aaliyah joined DDA at just 2.5 years old, and it’s been about a year since she became part of the community. Coming here has become a cherished part of her routine—something she genuinely looks forward to. She loves her teachers, and we truly see ourselves being part of DDA for the long haul.

My daughters have been part of DDA for 4 years now, and it’s been an amazing experience! Mrs. Deana, the owner, along with Ms. Denice, Ms. Nikole, and all of the staff, are truly incredible! They are not only talented but also incredibly supportive and kind, creating a positive and welcoming environment for all the dancers and their families.
The variety of classes offered is fantastic, keeping my daughters excited to explore new styles. We’ve seen tremendous growth in both their skills and confidence since joining.
DDA focuses not only on technique but also on fostering a love for dance. The recitals are always a highlight, and the sense of community is wonderful. If you’re looking for a dance academy that offers excellent training with a personal touch, DDA is the place to be!

My girls have been going to DDA for two years and love it there. We love being part of the DDA family. They’re super organized, responsive, have a lot of classes to choose from. It was also important to me at the beginning that the classes were not combining a big age range so my (somewhat introverted) girls felt more comfortable. We’ll be signing up again this coming fall. Can’t wait!!

My daughter has been attending DDA for the past 4 years, and I couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The instructors are not only highly skilled dancers but also incredible mentors who genuinely care about their students' growth and well-being.
The curriculum is well-structured and caters to dancers of all levels, ensuring that each child receives the attention and instruction they need to progress. My daughter has shown remarkable improvement in her technique and confidence, thanks to the personalized feedback and encouragement she receives in every class.
What sets DDA apart is their commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive environment. The staff fosters a sense of community among the students, promoting teamwork and mutual respect. The dance recitals are always top-notch, showcasing the hard work and dedication of both the students and instructors.
We are so grateful to be part of the DDA family!

I cannot say enough great things about DDA. My daughter will be entering her 3rd season with DDA in the fall and absolutely loves to dance here. Whether your looking for ballet, tap, hip hop, etc., DDA has it all. My daughter loves DDA so much, she continues to dance here throughout the summer. The teachers are professional and truly care about the students. The classes are fun while simultaneously encouraging the students to develop new skills and challenge themselves to their full potential. The end of the year recital is phenomenal, and you can tell both the students and teachers really put their whole hearts into it. Additionally, the staff is extremely responsive to emails and everything that you need to know (from ordering tights to purchasing recital tickets) is communicated clearly and well in advance. Parents can also watch the classes via zoom. If you're looking for a terrific dance studio, this is the place!

The studio is very professionally run, and all of the teachers are kind and caring with their dancers. The summer camps, clinics, and year-round dance school are such an enjoyable experience for your child, and as a parent you will not be disappointed!

DDA is the premiere Bergen County youth dance studio. My daughters, ages 3.5 and 5.5, are beginning their third year here. Whether your child is interested in true skill development or pure, pressure-free enjoyment, there is a wide variety of class offerings. It is a welcoming environment for both recreational and competitive dancers. We are so pleased with the professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness of the staff, from the instructors, to the front desk, to the director, Deana, who is always present and accessible—and just a truly lovely person! The end of year recital is both beautiful and orderly. Communication throughout the year is regular and clear. This is a SAFE, well-run studio that I can’t recommend highly enough.

DDA Dance Academy is like a home away from your home. Every teacher in that studio cares for the children as if they were their own, and the kids truly love to be there. One of my favorite things about DDA is that the owner seems to have somehow picked the cream of the crop when it comes to the teachers. The teachers for the young ones truly make dance magical. The teachers for the elementary aged students know how to grow a dancer’s skills and challenge their limits, all while making dance fun and enjoyable. As a mom with a daughter on their competitive team, the DDA Company is just another example of that studio feeling like home. My girls have absolutely loved DDA from the moment they took their first class, and a large part is due to the sweetest owner, Deana, who is always going above and beyond. We love DDA and are so proud to be a part of this studio.

My daughter has been going to DDA for years and she loves it! She is in a competitive team and over the years I see so much improvement. Great dance studio with talented and dedicated teachers, friendly and responsive staff, very pleasant studio owner, Deana. I enjoy watching my fearless daughter perform her solo on stage as well as in all company dances. Every year the choice of dances, costumes and choreography is amazing and pleasure to watch every competition. Highly recommend!!

We had the best experience this summer with our three year old daughter at DDA Dance Academy. She participated in their summer camps for three weeks and had the time of her life. It was a very clean organized studio with lots of attentive teachers that were extremely helpful. They really went above and beyond to make the camp special. We have been so happy with our experience there and most importantly, our daughter had so much fun.

After trying other studios, I’m so glad I found DDA. My daughters have been so happy in DDA’s classes since they started in the 2.5 class. The studio is beautiful and immaculate and the teachers are positive, upbeat, and find a perfect way to teach them the correct terms for things while keeping it age appropriate and most importantly, fun. I always joke that the dance teachers are better than Disney princesses, but it’s true! This is evident in their awesome summer camps. The theming is over the top and so exciting for the children, the instructors are top notch, and every little detail is cared for, down to the healthy, thoughtful snack choices (like fresh fruit), story time, and so many special touches. This is a camp where you can truly feel like your child is having the best time and is treated well by caring professionals. I’m excited there are so many different weeks to choose from this summer. The owner is so dedicated and goes the extra mile to ensure her students are excited about dance! I can’t say enough good things to express how much I recommend DDA.

This is a great studio- bright, clean, professional, and the owner and instructors are all so warm, friendly, and helpful. They made my daughter's first experience with dance a great one and it was an easy decision to keep her enrolled at this studio! I had heard from a veteran dance mom that this is a great place to start young dancers (some other studios are too competitive and critical for young girls). That's not the feel here at all. I'm so happy we joined DDA.

I have a 2.5 and 6 yo daughter that love coming to DDA. They are extremely professional, have been very cautious when it comes to ensuring all the families are safe with regards to Covid and the teachers are all great. The studio is also new and super clean. I'm also impressed with how fast they adapted with the pandemic. They have virtual classes and gives your child the ability to take a live class virtually if for some reason you can't make it in person. I find them to also be very flexible and accomodating. Great facility! Highly recommend.

Deana is a talented and amazing teacher!
I have been taking (adult :-) Pilates with Deana for a couple of years. She is excellent at addressing her students with the right imagery and helps me at every class to achieve a better sense of my own body awareness - key to my personal success as her student.
Deana's ability to incorporate her extensive dance background into her classes makes for an exciting and challenging experience and she always seems to create a perfect workout - hitting all of the right places a woman might want to strengthen and tone.
I have also recently started to take Deana's Barre Fitness class and I LOVE it! I just can't believe it took me so long to try it.....
Thanks, Deana!!

My daughter was apart of this school for the 2012-2013 season. She really loved her teacher and the assistants. Everyone is very friendly and they know every child's name which is impressive. The children I saw there each week would leave with huge smiles. I really appreciate how in touch with the parents the school is, there are constant updates emailed, they post on Facebook, talk to you in person and are always available to you if you have questions via email or phone. If you are looking for loving, talented and dedicated teachers, quality instruction and a continuous smile of triumph on your child's face then I highly recommend DDA.
