Mrs. Debbie is organized and straight forward; you know what to expect the second, third, fourth, etc years your kiddos take dance there. The first year was rough. I learned from over-hearing parents in the lobby talking about what to expect for recital tickets, parade, rehearsal, and recital day. I like to know what to expect ahead of time; it lowers stress levels. But once we went through the first dance year, I relaxed because you get great consistency with DHDA. And the girls LOVE lessons!
