For the beginning to intermediate adult dancer, interested in obtaining quality dance instruction and/or performance opportunities in an atmosphere of sisterhood and ministry.
I chose diPA for the values. Each time I searched the web and reviewed/researched different dance centers, diPA stood above the others.

Watching diPA dance touches my soul. Tears of emotion are a common reaction at each performance. diPA is not just a dance and performing arts studio, it is a MINISTRY.
