About DIANE'S SCHOOL OF DANCE

My late husband, Ron Henderson, and I had a vision of providing an educational dance environment where children could learn and express themselves. In 1974, we opened the doors to Diane's School of Dance and for 31 years, I taught every single class. Today, Diane's School of Dance is still going strong with nearly 1000 students, making us one of the most successful schools in the country. And there’s a reason for that! We make each child feel included and important, and as a result, DSOD has become an icon of the Northland and a leader of dance education in Kansas City. I now assume more of a director’s role, and with the help of 20 faculty members and over 70 dance assistants, we offer tap, classical ballet, jazz, acrobatics, hip hop, pointe, lyrical and contemporary. At DSOD, we believe dance training should also include life training that promotes poise, self-confidence and discipline. With that philosophy in mind, we provide a positive and inclusive environment where students are personally known and loved by their teachers and are able to learn elements of dance while also focusing on having fun!
