This is an amazing dance studio. After my child attended their summer camp her technique has improved more than the 2 years she has been taking dance lessons. The atmosphere is loving and encouraging which nourishes the dancer inside of your child. After going through 3 different dance schools, I can say that THIS is the place to bring your child to see them flourish!

Our family has been a part of diPA for quite some time. The reason I say family is because it is a family affair. Although, my daughter is the dancer in the family, diPA involves other family members as well. We have diPA siblings, dads, moms, aunts, uncles, and cousins involvement at many of the events.My daughter started dancing at the studio during elementary and she is now in high school. The blessing of being a part of the diPA family is that students are not only taught to dance, they are taught to INSPIRE! Students learn every aspect of dance as well as the business of dance. As a result, my daughter has made plans for college that includes minoring in dance. My family will forever be grateful for diPA.

Awesome program from the Owner, to the parents and to the children. She really took my daughter in and helped here through her shyness and developed her into a completely different dancer within just months. I’m so excited to see her growth and she has some amazing girls to look up to.

Where do I start? In the simplist of words... the diPA Center has been a tremendous blessing to our family!! After years of struggling with the weight of our insulin resistant 11 year old daughter, the diPA Center Summer Intensive Camp provided us with a breakthrough!! This breakthrough encompassed a simple nutrition, exercise, and motivational plan that my daughter finally felt she could be successful with. She finished the camp more confident and 12 lbs lighter!!! It’s been a month now, and she’s still maintaining her commitment to her health....nutrition and exercise! The summer staff was amazing and always so supportive and encouraging!! diPA’s genuine love developing the mind, body and soul of young girls surpasses all understanding. We visited her pediatrician a couple of weeks ago, and they were just as excited about her success!!! We look forward to a long relationship with the diPA family!!With gratitude!Our Family

DiPA Center, I cant explain in words how wonderful this program has been to my family. A family oriented program that has instilled wonderful life experiences in my children. What I love most are the opportunities diPA provides for the students to volunteer in and around their communities. Giving back to society. diPA does not just dance, just like their motto says, they INSPIRE. Students arent just told how to act and what to do, but are out embarking in the fight against domestic violence, dancing to support Autism, taking a stand against gang violence, making their voices heard that all lives matter, and always Praying for our community, country, and our world.

Words cannot describe how much diPA has impacted my life. I have been dancing with diPA since it first made its way to the Atlanta area. It has always been a positive, Christian influence and it has helped to mold me into the woman I am today! Now, years later, I have found my way back home and I am a part if the adult program and my two children are a part of the itty bitty program. Not only are we learning to dance at this studio with amazing training and technique, but we are also learning to inspire everyday. I couldnt ask for a better place to plant my family and grow with. I love an environment that makes me feel welcomed and at home! Family is what I call diPA!

This is one of the most life changing opportunities I have every had to be a part of diPA Center. As an adult dancer, it is important to continually learn my art. LaShaun Dodds and the rest of the diPA family continually push themselves to be excellent in all they do but also leave room for God to minister to the people. Im so humbled to be counted as diPA family. I tell everyone I can to sign up.

We found diPA in 2014 after spending a year searching and vetting dance programs for my then 3yo daughter. As I asked around, I began to get rave word-of-mouth reviews for this one particular program - diPA. So, we signed up and have been incredibly blessed by this wonderful ministry! My now 7yo daughter LOVES diPA! It’s her favorite place to be! And she has grown into such an amazingly beautiful and strong dancer. diPA is not for play play! Skill, technique, confidence, responsibility, and grace are taught in this program. diPA has not only blessed my daughter, but it has blessed me also. Some of my closest friendships started at diPA!!! And it was through the Adult Program that I learned to trust myself and believe in my body! One day someone stated that I was a dancer and I remember thinking, “Wow! I’m a dancer too!” diPA gave me the opportunity to strengthen my body and become a dancer along with my daughter! I love diPA. I love Mrs. Dodds. I love her family. I love her ministry and her vision and her mission. I could go on and on! You really should just come and see for yourself! There’s a performance every spring...be on the look out for it! Registration begins in August (that’s now)!

Dipa has been such an incredible experience for my daughter. She started with the summer intensive program at age four, did weekly classes during the year, and has just completed this years summer program. She has blossomed so much in the year that she has been with Dipa. The transformation and her appreciation and love for dance has been amazing to see. The evolution is unbelievable!! Thanks Dipa team for giving us this incredible gift!

My two daughters age 11 and 3 attend this studio and from the start we were highly impressed! We have attended other dance schools but finally settled on DiPA through a mutual friend whose daughter is also a long-time student.What I love most about Dipa is the quality of instruction. You wont find instructors that allow your child to have poor dance form, (sloppy, awkward arms, displaced feet etc)They are serious here! The young ladies here are highly disciplined and extremely impressive. Another thing I love about DiPA is the patient, firm, yet kind way Mrs. Dodds pulls the best performances out of our girls. This dance center isnt only about the physical conditioning of the body. It has also helped to build the self-image and confidence of my daughters, which I think creates the best kind of dancers.

I became a member of the diPa family over a year ago. I was one of the few that Never officially danced before, Never took ballet, tap, jazz or any type of performance dance per se’ but have always had a huge desire to dance. I was one of those that truly lacked rythmn but when I joined the diPa dance company they all welcomed me in with open arms. Last year was such a fun and exciting journey that I’m anxiously waiting for this season to launch again. I Love that this company is a Christian based organization so God Love flows and abounds through the visionary leader which is Mrs Lashun Dodds. When I started my journey last year with DiPa as a newbie, I was super Amazed how the entire team of adults blossomed into beautiful flowers. I’m still in Awe at the entire production that was presented in the Spring. If you are on the fence trying to decide about joining the diPa family, I strongly encourage it. You won’t be the same and it will be worth your investment into something great. DiPa Family Rocks!!!

Our Family has been part of the DiPA family for over 6yrs. My Daughter has learned a lot about character, leadership, personal growth, commitment and dedication. She has grown so much as a dancer also. Each time we have gone to competition- I feel that our presence changes the atmosphere, because when we show up, we show out!! And we do it while giving honor to God!. For myself, I have danced with the adult group and found a great sense of comradery. I never thought I would perform on a stage, in costume and enjoy it, but I did!!.If you are looking for a place for your dancer to grow and be challenged, as well as for you to explore your creative side, look no further, This is the place for both and so much more. Thank you Ms Dodds for all you do.

Signing my daughter Eshe’ for a summer intensive at DIPA 5 years ago was one of the best decisions I have made. She is now in her Senior year at Pebblebrook Hidh School.We have learned so much health and wellness in addition to all we have learned about dance. We are proud to be apart of the Dipa family.

I have been a student of Dipa for almost 9 months. The atmosphere was just what I was looking for from the start. I look forward to ministering through dance each evening adult classes are held. Not only are youre able to worship, a good workout is also provided!I knew from the first class that I tried, that I was there to stay. Being a former dancer, Ive continue to develop my gift under Mrs. Dodds instructions. Mrs. Dodds is an amazing instructor and choreographer! What I enjoy most about the classes are its versatility. I also like the professionalism Mrs. Dodds brings. Based on my experience this year at Dipa, I will definitely be introducing my 13 year old daughter to the Dipa Team as well this summer. I know she will receive the training that she needs to become an awesome dancer! Thank you Mrs. Dodds and the Dipa Team!
