My girls have had such an amazing experience at this dance school. Since starting, their confidence has grown so much both on and off the dance floor, and their dancing skills have improved tremendously. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about each child’s growth. The environment is positive, supportive, and makes them excited to come every week. We’re so grateful to be part of this dance family and highly recommend this studio!

ZD Dance Academy has been nothing short of AMAZING for my daughter, who has danced here since she was four years old. This studio is truly one of a kind and feels like a second family. The teachers and staff are passionate, encouraging, and genuinely pour love, time, and dedication into every child. The training is top-tier, the environment is positive and uplifting, and the support the students receive is unmatched. We absolutely LOVE ZD Dance Academy and cannot recommend it enough to any family looking for exceptional dance training in a nurturing, high-quality studio!

Finding the right program for your children can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it's hard to find a place that truly understands your needs. I thought I had found the perfect program—placing her in dance class because she's always asking about dancing. I came across a place called ZDDA in Lanham, which seemed promising. When I visited to inquire about the program, I was told it was full. They mentioned that a parent might be withdrawing, so I returned later and was told there might be an opening. I even called to secure a spot before learning the class fee was $110. However, they tried to place me in a combo class—probably hip-hop, ballet, or jazz—where I was only interested in ballet for my daughter. It turned out that after filling out the registration and paying a fee, I received an invoice for $270, even though the classes hadn’t started yet. The fees included a parade fee and tutoring costs, which I wasn’t expecting. I wanted only the ballet class, and the staff agreed to reduce the fee to $125, but I realized I hadn’t been fully informed about the non-refundable registration fee until I saw a screenshot from their literature. Since our classes begin tomorrow and I haven’t even stepped inside the building, I find it unfair that they took $50 just like that. Sometimes, navigating these programs can be tricky, especially when policies seem more focused on money than supporting families. I’ll share the conversation screenshot because I believe this important information should have been communicated upfront, not only when I asked about the costs.

My daughter has been a part of the ZDDA family for 2 years. Monet' and the staff at ZDDA are amazing. Their care and dedication to the children is that of a family. Bringing the ideal of 'it takes a village' to a vibrant reality. My daughter enjoys her tap, hip hop, ballet and tumbling sessions. She always raves about what she learned and displays a positive recollection of her session's experience. As a parent I really appreciate how ZDDA incorporates fundraisers for the dancers, with the majority of the proceeds going toward our tuition or recital fees. Although one cannot put a price on what the ZDDA family provides to our community...the fundraisers are a great way to assist us in offsetting costs for our little dancers. I look forward to the consistent thrive in my daughter's skill, experience and love with ZDDA. I sincerely appreciate the ZDDA family!
