Dallas Dance Collective

 Under the leadership of Bethany Stimson, Dallas Dance Collective aims to shape confident, technically proficient dancers. Whether your child is dancing recreationally or pursuing a pre-professional path, we strive to ensure he/she feels both challenged and encouraged every step of the way.

Those looking to take their training to the next level may audition for one of our Collective teams. These dancers receive a personalized experience with unique opportunities for advanced technical and artistic development through in-studio training, conventions, competitions, and specialized classes with guest instructors.

Our hope is that every dancer grows to feel at home at DDC—and above all, that they build lasting friendships and fall in love with dance.

Dallas Dance Collective was born from a deep desire to create something more — more intentional, more uplifting, and more connected. As 2025 began, this was not the path we expected to be on, but we’re grateful for the open doors and the bold hearts that brought us here. This studio is the result of vision, faith, and a calling to serve dancers in a new and meaningful way.

 

At the heart of Dallas Dance Collective is the belief that dance is for everyone — whether you're dancing recreationally, training with pre-professional goals, or somewhere in between. We are here to support every dancer’s journey with excellence, encouragement, and a personalized approach.

 

What makes us different isn’t just our curriculum or choreography — it’s our commitment to each dancer as a whole person. We value quality training over quantity of performances, and we believe in developing strong technique, personal confidence, and long-term growth through detailed, anatomically sound instruction. Every class is designed to challenge, inspire, and grow dancers both technically and artistically — in a way that’s fun, age-appropriate, and rooted in positivity.

We know you have many choices when it comes to dance education. Our promise is that no matter what classes you take, your dancer will work hard, be supported, and improve. We take pride in a non-toxic, uplifting studio culture, where community, mentorship, and joy take center stage.

 

This is our “why”:


To create a space where dancers are seen, supported, and stretched.
To provide high-level training in a nurturing, affirming environment.
To help each dancer discover not just what they can do — but who they are becoming.

We are so glad you're here. Let’s build something beautiful — together.
