At Dallas Dance Collective, we believe that dance is for everyone!

We encourage students to begin their dance journey at an early age and are committed to nurturing each child through positive reinforcement and supportive leadership. Our mission is to cultivate not only well-trained dancers, but also happy, confident individuals who carry the joy of dance with them for life.

While our most intensive training will take place within our Collective Company, we are just as passionate about providing a high-quality recreational program where all dancers feel loved, valued, and empowered with a strong technical foundation—regardless of their long-term dance goals.

 

A Different Kind of Rec Program:

We’ve carefully considered feedback about recreational programs in the area, and for our first year, we’ve made the thoughtful decision to focus on training over performance. Rather than preparing for a large year-end recital, our dancers will enjoy a full school year of consistent training.

We believe this will offer them a stronger foundation and more time to grow in confidence and skill. That said, we still want our families to see the progress being made! Please see our “Performance” paragraph for more details about casual in-studio performance opportunities your dancer will have throughout the year.

 

Performance: 

While our primary focus for all dancers will be technical advancement, we look forward to regular opportunities to showcase our students’ work through in-studio demonstrations, informal courtyard performances, and participation in local community events. We will reevaluate for year 2, but in it’s inaugural year, DDC will not hold a traditional end-of-year recital.

Collective dancers will perform at competitions and different events in the community, as well as a Holiday show that we will build on each year showcasing classical and contemporary work.
