About this studio
Miss Dianna's School of Dance has been teaching in the Kansas City Northland since 1974, serving as a cornerstone of the community for over five decades. The studio offers a family-friendly environment focused on providing a creative and educational space where dancers can grow through the art of movement. Their alumni have gone on to be teachers, doctors, nurses, performers, and professionals across many fields.
Classes are offered in Acrobats, Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Pom Pon, and Dance Technique for both children and adults. The range includes Mom & Me Combination Classes (for children as young as those who can walk), Combination Classes focusing on tap, ballet, and acrobats, Pre-Competition classes covering tap, jazz, and ballet with recital dances and acrobat training, and Additional Youth Classes for ages 5 and up. Adult classes cater to ages 18 and up, whether experienced dancers or complete beginners, with styles including Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, Adult Underground (quick-moving, high-energy routines), and Stretch & Strength.
The studio prioritizes small class sizes with a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio to ensure individual attention. Every classroom is led by an adult teacher with a well-trained assistant. Parents and family are always welcome to stay and watch classes. Summer offerings include Half-Day and Full-Day Advanced Dance Camps, as well as a Transition to Competition summer programme covering tap, jazz, and ballet.
Beyond dance, the studio offers Guitar and Drum Lessons taught by Scott Clevenger, who has been playing guitar for 20 years and teaching beginner and intermediate lessons for the last 6 years. He teaches acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, preferring to teach by ear and guitar tablature rather than sheet music. Students must be a minimum of 10 years old and willing to practice daily; 30-minute lessons are $65 per month. Private dance lessons and Wedding Dance Lessons are also available.
Since 2010, the event spaces have hosted weddings, parties, business events, and church gatherings. The brick interior, stained glass, and hard-wood floors create a distinctive setting. The upper level accommodates larger events and the lower level holds up to 75 people. The venue can accommodate up to 250 people total, offers private parking, is handicap accessible, has a full kitchen, and allows open catering and alcohol. The studio handles all setup and cleanup.
