David Matthew Studios

"Highly recommend DMS. The time he takes to make sure each of his students get correct direction is amazing. Also the fact that parents are able to fully view their children while in class is greatly appreciated. For a parent it is really helpful to see how my child is progressing throughout the year. David and all his staff are so welcoming and extremely helpful."

"My daughter is in her third year of dance at David Matthew Studios. I can tell you that David and Christen are great teachers and that your child will get a top-notch dance education if you choose to go here. However, what makes this place so special is how supported my daughter feels from her teachers, her peers, and senior students—you can’t put a price tag on that. David has really taken into account my daughter’s temperament and found ways to encourage her that work for her. My daughter has found a love of dance here along with amazing friendships—she can’t imagine dancing anywhere but at David Matthew Studios!"

"This is a wonderful dance studio and a gem in Grand Rapids! The instruction my daughter has received has allowed her to improve in so many ways and further her love of dance. In addition to the high standards of coaching, the camaraderie and support amongst the dancers is wonderful to see. David Matthew Studio has created an exceptional environment for young artists to learn and grow."

"I came across DMS last summer when my son, 6 years old, enrolled into hip hop. He loved it SO much he asked to keep going! His coach, Erica, and her helper, Maren, make dance fun and enjoyable for all ages! My daughter, 9 years old, enrolled into ballet for the first time last fall after being intrigued from watching the talented ballet dancers while waiting for her brother to get out of class. Her coach, David, gives her the confidence in exceeding her own expectations by helping her perfect her turns, flexibility, footwork, timing, and much, MUCH more. I’d recommend this studio to anyone and give them more than 5 stars if I could! My kiddo’s are beyond excited to pursue the art of telling a story through movement all thanks to the DMS staff!"

"David Matthew Studios is a fantastic place for your dancer to learn, grow, and fall in love with dance! The instructors are devoted to their dancers technique and desire to be great. The studio is small which allows for more individualized attention. The dancers become amazing friends and truly look forward to each class. This studio not only wants excellence for its students, it excels in providing it."
