Kindra, Deltona FL
"We absolutely love Dehner Elite Arts! My daughter is in the Move & Groove class, and it has been such a wonderful experience for her. She looks forward to every class and truly enjoys every moment. Ms. A and Miss Kenzie are incredible so kind, encouraging, and unbelievably patient with the little ones. They create such a positive and nurturing environment that makes learning fun while helping the kids build confidence."
Danielle, Debary FL
"My little one started here and was shy but picked it up fast. Now she is wanting to perform all the time at home and looks forward to dance. I haven't seen a kid not give this place a try and not fall in love. The pricing is beyond fair. No drama either!!!"
Cheryle, Deltona FL
"There is not enough words to express how wonderful it has been at DEA for my daughter. Ms. A is the most dedicated and loving director. She goes above and beyond for all students and families and is able to create amazing productions and dances! My daughter has not only grown in all aspects of dancing, acting and singing but her social emotional development as well. She learns that hard work pays off and feels supported by the family atmosphere created here at DEA."
