Making Dance More Approachable
Whether you're someone who never had a chance to train in dance or lost touch with it as an adult, we're here to help you ease into learning new dance styles from Bollywood to Hip Hop. DFD is a place where we cultivate dancers from the very beginning of their dance journeys. To us, your motivation to learn is the only thing you need to start growing your skills as a dancer. The best part is that all of your classmates are in the same boat as you. They're excited to dance, but a bit nervous to see if they can grasp it. Trust us when we say, you CAN.
what we strive for
confidence
By pushing students out of their comfort zone and helping them achieve something they didn't think possible, our students learn that anything is truly possible if they set their minds to it.
identity
Learning various Eastern and Western styles allows our students to understand and appreciate the diversity and cohesion of their different art forms and cultures.
community
Through our precision-based training, students learn in a team-based environment while developing a community where they feel safe to learn and grow.
program
Classes are structured to help you grasp foundational technique. While the choreography will push you out of your comfort zone and challenge your mental agility, it'll be taught at a beginner level pace to help guide you into your potential as a dancer.
Who we are.
DFD Academy is a Boston-based dance school founded in 2013. With over a decade of experience in teaching students of all ages and levels, our Founder, Devika Dhawan is now bringing her style and teaching method to Los Angeles and helping students grow as both dancers (and people) through her art.
