âThe teachers definitely care, and we have really enjoyed watching our son learn and grow through his class. This is his first extracurricular activity and it has been a great experience. This has really helped with getting him out of his comfort zone since the pandemic.â

âDMSD is a wonderful school with a well trained staff and a director who is there for the students, the staff, and the parents. The atmosphere in the studio is a positive one that is important for the nurturing of young dancers. I highly recommend this studio. â

âI danced at DMSD for over ten years (starting when I was three years old) and am still in touch with some of the girls from my earliest classes, despite moving out of state. I recently took a ballet class after ten years out of the game, and it all came flooding back! Dance was such an integral part of my childhood, and I can't say enough about Miss Tara, Miss Deborah, and all of the other teachers I came across while there. I love reminiscing and watching old videos and looking at all of our pictures. Thanks!â

âI've grown up dancing with Deborah Messinger School of Dance for over 40 years. My children and grandchildren also take dance and have been in the preschool. The staff is great, helpful and understanding and try to address participants needs. My kids and I would recommend Deborah Messinger School of Dance to anyone looking for a great, fun experience for their child.â

âSince moving to Oregon my daughter has wanted to go to this studio. This is her second year at Deborah Messinger School of Dance. We spend four nights a week here and it is always clean with friendly staff. Ms. Deborah and Miss Tara have taught my daughter dance with so much love. They have given her so much confidence through their positive encouragement. The love and support my daughter gets from this studio is priceless. I have never met two people that were so dedicated to your childâs happiness. If you are looking for a family friendly studio than I would give this studio a call. You wonât be disappointedâ

âDeborah Messinger School of Dance is a great place for your children. I spent many years learning dance from Miss Debbie and the experience was amazing. Son is starting "All Boy's dance classes" (Hip Hop, Tap, and gym) and I can't wait for recitals.â

âMy daughter has been going here for 3 years. She loves it and everyone of her teachers have been so kind and welcoming. She is learning so much. Before here we went to a studio in Clackamas for 1/2 a year and it really didn't teacher anything. Since she has been here she has been dancing so much more at home and making up routines with her friends.â

âAbsolutely love the studio and everyone that makes it function ! My daughter Jayden danced there for 2 1/2 years and when life got busy we had to take a break. She asks me frequently when can she get back to dancing and we hope to make that happen soon! We've recommended friends to the studio and they've also quickly fell in love. Prior to coming to Deborah Messinger we tried other studios and were less than pleased. They welcome you into their family from the start. Great place for all ages and dance levels.â

âAnyone who joins Deborah's dance school is joining a special family! The dedication, drive and talent are what make this studio thrive, but the love warmth and family community is really the soul to the studio. I am blessed to be able to be a part of this great group and hope to meet many more new dancers in the future.â
