My daughter has been dancing at DcD for over 6 years now, and she loves it today, just as much as when she started when she was 4 years old. This is in large part due to Miss Jennifer. She is such a caring, dedicated teacher. Just as important as teaching the kids proper technique and form, she takes great pride in making sure that everyone is having a positive fun experience. Miss Jennifer has instilled a passion for ballet and dance in my daughter that will last a lifetime.

Both of my daughters have taken dance lessons at the Dance Conservatory of Denver (DCD) and had a wonderful experience. The younger classes are perfectly age appropriate with the right mix of fun and instruction. The older classes include reasonable corrections to help with form and execution. The studio culture is lovely - very supportive and encouraging, with a great parent community. Were so grateful to have found such a fantastic studio!

My 4-year-old-daughter shows a very special kind of joy when shes with Miss Jennifer at her Tuesday beginner ballet class. Her preschool teacher noticed a direct correlation between her self confidence and her embarkment in this class. Such a great first activity experience for her that is truly about the joy of learning how to dance and not competitive.

My daughter loves DCD! After dancing at another studio, we moved here for the outstanding ballet instruction and friendly, non competitive environment. She spends a lot of time dancing and I couldn’t have asked for a better second home for her. Her teachers, Ms Jennifer and Ms Cori, are not only professional, but their genuine interest, warmth and support bring out the absolute best in every dancer. I can see the joy and growth in my daughter’s dancing/performances and above all she is happy and having fun!! Highly recommend!!

I have 3 dancers ranging from 5-16yrs old at DCD. At every level, from Pre-Ballet to Advanced, they have the most supportive and caring environment along with excellent instruction and high quality training. Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Cori are remarkable how they inspire dancers through their genuine love and passion for what they do. It says something when my girls look forward to going and then leave class smiling! The Nutcracker and Triple Bill performances showcase all their true enjoyment, hard work and dedication.

My daughter has been attending DCD since she was four, and she wouldnt want to dance anywhere else! The instruction is excellent, and the teachers are encouraging. The caring environment that DCD fosters has helped my daughter form valuable friendships. She will dearly miss this school and its dancers once she graduates.

We highly recommend DcD. Our daughter had had a positive experience from day one and learned so much from Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Cori. Her passion for dance and her skills have grown tremendously over the past three years under their instruction. As a school, DcD strikes a great balance of excellence and professionalism with a kind and supportive culture. We are also grateful that the friendships shes made and for the opportunities to perform Nutcracker each winter and the Triple Bill each spring. The shows are so well done!

My daughter has been dancing with DCD for 6 years since she was 3. She absolutely loves the studio, teachers and her friends there. I would say that one of the features of DCD that makes it so special, is the interaction between older dancers and the younger ones through the Nutcracker and Triple Bill performances. As she has gradually progressed through the levels, dancers take on age appropriate additional responsibility and learn to become mentors. Additionally, they look forward to taking on new roles, understanding that everyone plays an important part in making the shows a success, and helping younger dancers to learn their choreography. It is a collaborative, supportive environment where developing positive self-esteem is a priority for the teachers. While my daughter is passionate about ballet, I know that she will take away so many important skills from DCD. We feel so fortunate to have our daughter be part of this community and company.

My daughter has been at DcD for several years. She has developed strong bonds and trusted friendships with many of the girls in her classes, which is so important given how much time they spend together at the studio. I believe the reason for this is because the owner and teachers at DcD expect dancers to be supportive and encouraging of one another. It’s a safe, fun, yet rigorous training environment that we feel has made a huge difference in our daughter’s life over the years.Regarding the training, the greatest strengths of DcD is that they support the girls’ dance development at whatever level, from the lead company girls with difficult technical ballet choreography, to the wee ones just learning how to smile on stage. The performances are of high quality, always classy yet entertaining. If you are in the market, I highly recommend checking it out.

My twin girls have been going to DCD since 2015 for pre-ballet. They are now in 2nd grade and have also participated in 2 Nutcrackers and 1 spring performance. They LOVE it. Especially they enjoy the performing. I am a former dancer (15 yrs of training) so I was a little picky about where I wanted to send my daughters. The atmosphere at DCD is wonderful: uplifting, empowering, fun, and non competitive. My daughters can struggle with not listening or following along; their teacher will help redirect them but she never forces them. This style works with my girls, and they still remember choreography from last spring! It is amazing! The studio also has older dancers mentor/assist with younger (especially with performances) and they take this seriously and see it as a privilege. I have been so impressed with the older dancer’s attitude toward that. As a result it is just a great community to be a part of, teaching my daughters more than just dance. We love Miss Jennifer!

DCD is family ! Most studios create a highly competitive environment which often times is negative . We have been with DCD almost 12 years and in that time we have observed Miss J and her staff foster a group of youth who are so supportive of each other and caring . Sure there is some “teenage angst”, that is to expected, but nothing like other studios. These dancers generally support each other and in turn have a healthier place to learn and improve their art. The DCD dancers outside of DCD in academics, auditions, summer intensives etc. are deemed dedicated, hardworking, extremely well adjusted, and polite, as this seems to be the consensus of opinion in the dance world. Miss J and DCD have developed these traits in their dancers and send them out into the world. DCD is our home away from home. It has provided lessons in dance, hard work, and healthy levels of humility. We Highly recommend DCD.
