Donna Casey has a heart of gold. Her heart's desire is clear, that all the children of this community would be able to reap the
benefits that dance has to offer; the same benefits that I have experienced over the twelve years that I have been a part of The
Dance Studio. You see, dancing with Donna means more than just exercise, more than just a series of steps, The Dance Studio is
in the business of creating well-rounded individuals. Donna strives to maintain a studio that builds "healthy bodies, strong
minds, and positive personalities." More than just a mission statement of The Dance Studio, that statement sums up the very
mindset and mission of Donna herself. When I began my journey at The Dance Studio, I was the shy girl who lacked self-
confidence. Dancing with Donna gave me the courage to shine. During the awkward teenage years, being a dancer gave me a
special identity, a new self-esteem. Donna also taught me about respect, good work ethic, and the importance of teamwork. I
will be forever grateful to Donna, and I will always consider The Dance Studio my second home, the environment that helped
shape me into the person I am today.

My 12 year old daughter began dance at the studio a little over a year ago after being a competitive gymnast for years. Dance quickly became her new passion. Donna has a no-nonsense personality and expects the best from her dancers but continues to show them all the love that you see in your own family.
The Dance Studio offers professional teachers who really know what they are doing, including Master Teacher Andrew who comes down from NAU to teach ballet and pointe. My daughter enjoys learning new steps every class she takes. We are thrilled to have such a wonderful dance company in the Tri-City area! Thanks for sticking around Donna

I am a proud parent of 2 girls (19 & 10) who are now attending classes at The Dance Studio in Prescott, Arizona. We are also fortunate enough to have both girls be members of their award winning RhythMotion Performing Company.

The 7000sf facility is pristine and conducive to dancing. They also have a seperate area for eating and to do homework. The classes offered are stellar. They offer a wide variety of genre of dance, from beginners to advanced. We came from a Performing Arts Academy in California, where everything was WIN WIN WIN!! We came to The Dance Studio and Donna Casey (the owner) welcomed us with open arms. She and her staff have embraced our family as their ‘family’.

I have found that it’s not always just about winning, but it’s also about providing the vehicle and the opportunity to allow young girls to grow as ‘complete’, well rounded individuals through DANCE!

Thank you Donna! We love you!

My 12 year-old daughter has been dancing at the Dance Studio since she was 5 years old. She has gotten so much from the experience, wonderful friends, great instruction and amazing skill as a dancer. Donna Casey has been, and continues to be, an important mentor in Sadie’s life. Everyone there has really become a part of our extended family. We are truly blessed to have this level of dance instruction available in Prescott!

This is my 15 yr old daughter’s 11th year of dance and her 8th year at The Dance Studio with Donna Casey.  This is Annie’s 7th year with the RhythMotion Company.  We were welcomed from the very beginning and made to feel as though we had always been part of The Dance Studio family.  Not only has Annie received an incredible dance education and experience but it has carried over to other aspects of her life.  Donna teaches these kids to have self confidence and respect for themselves and others. The entire staff works hard to make sure every child is all that they can be.  Annie and I have been blessed to have Donna and the studio in our lives.
