Let's Dance
Learn about all DDC has to offer!
Welcome!
From hip hop to ballet, join us for a variety of dance classes that are equal parts educational and fun for all ages.
Founded in 2020, Desert Dance Collective is a performance-based dance studio with two locations in north Tucson. With years of experience and a genuine love for teaching, our goals are:
​
-
To provide excellent dance classes that are equal parts educational and fun for all students
-
To create performance opportunities for kids, teens, and adults to shine onstage and beyond
​
At DDC, we believe that the best movers are dynamic, determined, and confident people. We strive to instill these three key foundations in every class so that each student can understand what makes them unique, how to hone their individuality, and why they should be proud of it!

Tiny Toes (5 Week Session) begins April 25!
This 30 minute class is designed to be an exciting first step into the world of dance! From basic stretching to freeze dance parties, dancers will have a blast jumping and twirling. Parents will observe class from the lobby so that littles can focus on gaining confidence to be on their own in a safe setting. Ages 2-4

"My daughter started out doing one class and then did 2. She is now doing 3 classes and would do more if she didn't do other activities. We absolutely love the Desert Dance family and Ms. Lauren is AMAZING! She teaches confidence and makes dance fun."
