diPA Center - Dance Studio - Douglasville, Georgia

I am so thankful to have found diPA. As a dancer seeking to re-train, re-ignite and re-fresh after 15 years I have been on the hunt for a studio. Finding diPA has been nothing short of a blessing and the warm family environment has made me feel so at ease. The instruction has also given me a much needed challenge.
Mrs. Dodd has the experience and know how to take you to the next level and our adult classes our truly special! I highly recommend you give them a try.

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.

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 won't 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 isn't 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.

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

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)!

Words cannot describe how much diPA has impacted my life. I have been dancing with diPA since it first made it's 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 couldn't 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!

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 you're 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, I've 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!

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!
