New DCM Location!
We are excited to announce that DCM will be moving to a new location in Forrest Hill.

We are in the final stages of solidifying the lease for the new location which will feature over 6,500 square feet of space including offices, lobby/waiting areas, dressing rooms, and The Boutique at DCM, as well as four brand new dance studios that are larger than our current studios!

We hope that you will be able to join us in this new space.
  • Any current students or families who are not able to make the move to the new location should send a written note/email to withdraw from classes.
  • All DCM tuition will remain the same for the remainder of the year through June 2019.
  • The Winter 2018-2019 class schedule will remain the same as the Fall class schedule.
  • We will be looking for volunteers to help us install floors, barres, and mirrors! Please let us know if you would be willing to help out!

Please don’t hesitate to contact the office if you have any questions about the move, and we are looking forward to keeping everyone up to date as we move forward with construction on the new site!
