The DE Difference
- Variety – With up to 11 classes taking place at any given time, we offer a huge variety of classes for both children and adults from Ballet to Breakdancing, and everything in between!
- Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio – Most classes are limited to 12 students or less with one teacher and a trained assistant, so students can be sure to get plenty of personal attention.
