Moving in the best interest of childern

About

Dublin Dance Centre & Gymnastics offers each art form in a non-competitive atmosphere where every student is celebrated! Classes are available for true beginners through professionals; toddlers through adults! Each class is designed for the age of the students and their level of experience in the art form.

Our approach to movement education is for the whole individual. There is more to dance and gymnastics than technique; technique is the tool for teaching confidence through success. It is our objective that students take what they learn at DDC&G and apply self-discipline, physical confidence, and caring instruction toward every aspect of their lives.

Our Mission

"Moving…in the Best Interest of Your Child."

We provide the highest quality dance instruction in a supportive, nurturing environment. Our ultimate goal at Dublin Dance Centre & Gymnastics is that our students feel unbelievably great about themselves and their accomplishments at every skill level.

We accomplish this goal by maintaining a supportive environment and filling the classrooms with professionals who have extraordinary experiences to share and a passion to teach, give, and support their students.

What to Expect

From the moment you first walk into DDC&G, you will feel the richness of the community. We are a family-centered operation with a dedication to every student.

Communication is open and honest; teachers reach out to parents as needed and conclude the year with a written evaluation of each student’s growth and progress.

The year-end performances are an exceptional display of talent and production! Classes are invited to perform in a themed production.

History

Teresa Crye opened Dublin Dance Centre in 1984 inspired by local dancer and teacher Barbara Garrett. Teresa’s vision, teaching philosophy, and love for dance would set her apart from all other studios at the time. Barbara mentored Teresa in the first few years; she taught her how to hire quality instructors and together they developed DDC’s curriculum. Teresa stood strong in her mission and Dublin Dance Centre grew! Teresa’s sisters and daughter have become an important part of the business both in and out of the classroom. Her husband, Mike, has constructed and reconstructed the building as well as taking care of daily maintenance. Outside of Teresa’s immediate family, many staff members are loved the same and have their own numerous family connections here. Family is an integral part of Dublin Dance Centre & Gymnastics. To this day, Teresa still remains true to her original mission.

Interesting Facts About the Facility:

  • The studios are numbered in order of completion.
  • Studio 2/3 was originally one room, then split into two small rooms, then remodeled back into one room.
  • Studio 4 was finished before studio 5 as there was a different business in that part of the building. Students used to enter studio 4 from the sidewalk door!
  • Studio 8/9 (our Big Gym) used to be two separate dance rooms with a lobby.
  • Studios 11 and 12 were completed in 2003, but the Preschool Movement room was added in 2010.
  • In 2024, studio 11 was transformed into our Jr Gym.
