Director Diana Dana, a former elementary school teacher, forged her career in dance with the Garden State Ballet. She studied under Fred Danieli, a member of George Bal- anchine’s first NYC ballet company. Diana’s background led to the cre- ation of Wee Dance. This unique program is based on the Diana Dana Dance Method, a method that engages the youngest students, in order to teach them both dance and preschool basics. “Children are learning and retain- Ella and Artistic Director Diana Dana ing what is taught in a fun-filled exciting class that is based on readi- ness factors for each age group, from 18 months and up,” Diana explains. “We don’t teach dance to children, we teach children to dance. The school offers small classes, parent/teacher conferences, and well qualified staff members who know their students and parents personally. Some alumni now enjoy professional careers, such as Wyckoff’s Alana Allende, who is with the Paul Taylor Dance 2 Company, and others who were accepted into NYC School of American Ballet. Students have won national recognition at the Youth American Grand Prix, and various seniors have been accepted into dance programs at the colleges of their choice. The Dreamdancers personify the schools mission: A Better World Through the Arts. This non-competitive group dances at Great Adventure, Nets games, Oasis, and the Christian Health Care Center. Members take classes at Alvin Ailey and other locations. Element, the competition team, has won many gold medals in its first year. The school hosts birthday parties, badges for Scouts, a summer program, pri- vate lessons, and ballroom classes.
