OUR STORY
DDA Dance Academy was founded by director, Deana Gentile, in 2009.
As a child, it was my life long dream to open my very own dance school. Following in my mother’s own passion for dance, I began to dedicate my life to following this dream. I started dancing myself at 3 years old and continued through graduating from the University of Arizona, one of the top 5 dance programs in the country, with a degree in photography and dance. From there, I continued my dance education at Broadway Dance Center in NYC. Through combining my love for children and passion for dance, I was able to achieve my goal. It is my greatest accomplishment to watch children experience the joy of dance. Here at DDA, we strive to teach our students that through Dreaming and Dedicating yourself, you can Achieve anything! ❤ Deana
