The School at Doniphan Dance Project

The School at Doniphan Dance Project is a community-based dance and movement learning program that takes place in an inclusive and nurturing environment at The VOW Space. 


We welcome and are proud to instruct children of all abilities who represent a diverse ethnic and racial background, identify with their truest selves and celebrate the love of movement.


The School thrives on process driven dance and movement classes that are not focused on a traditional recital performance style of teaching. The instruction at The School at DDP is committed to non-competitive, progressive and inclusive instruction that is rooted in Doniphan Dance Projects core values of community, artistic excellence, creativity and access. 


The School offers three programs. Early Childhood Movement and Exploration, Children and Teen Program, and The DDP Company Program.

Each program is rooted in movement exploration, modern and contemporary dance technique, composition and choreography, and performance skills.

  • " Miss Roxie is exceptionally patient, supportive, and caring. My daughter loves her class, and we are so grateful for Ms. Roxie’s leadership, dedication, and the wonderful support from all of her assistants. They are all fantastic with the girls"

  • "I feel like my child is safe — physically AND mentally/emotionally when I drop her off. I do not have to worry about her spirit or love of dance being broken down. I feel like instructors AND the high school assistants genuinely care about my child and are invested in her growth."

  • "I love the “informances”! It is so cool to see and hear what they have learned and why it was taught. It’s very educational for everyone!."

  • "We are incredibly satisfied with our decision to enroll our daughter at DDP; I truly could write an essay on everything we love about the school."
