DC Dance Factory — Local services in Franklin

This will be the twelfth year my girls have been dancing at DC Dance Factory. From the first year we danced with DC to now, I am constantly amazed at the talent within this studio - from the teachers and the dancers. When DC dancers hit the stage, you know it. The teachers are amazingly talented and creative. Year after year they create dances and themes that are like no other. Everything they do is uniquely DC. We love DC, not just because of the talent and creativity, but also because the teachers really care about their students. My girls think of this studio as their second home and the teachers, parents and dancers as their extended family. I've seen so many DC dancers graduate high school and leave DC for college, NY or LA, but they always come back every chance they get. They come back to see their mentors and get the chance to take just one more class from them. They come back because they know they are loved there.

Overall though, a pleasant experience and good classes for the...

This is truly the best studio around. The staff are professional, organized, and truly want the kids to be their best. Being their best means in everything they do, from dance, to cheering or encouraging their peers during class, to showing respect to adults and each other, and taking these tools and applying it to life. It is a family! This is our 2nd year at DC and I truly love the staff, parents, and the kids. The talent here is amazing!! I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to come to a recital where you will see what DC produces or google dc factory dances online and look at past performances. You...
