Donation protected

During this time, the DLD Family would love help in supporting DLD Dance Center and its wonderful owner, Dyanna Daniels. Dyanna is the owner of a youth dance center in Downers Grove, IL.

DLD Professional Company was founded in 2004 and from that, DLD Dance Center opened in 2011.

Miss Dyanna - our biggest supporter

Over the years, Dyanna has dedicated such a great effort in supporting her dancers and their families. Serving the ages of 3 to Adult in learning about the art of dance, she and the DLD Dance Teachers have not only taught the foundations of dance in different genres to her families, but she also provides scholarships to children giving them the opportunity to dance that they otherwise might not have. This gesture in itself is something that has affected the lives of so many children in such a positive way.

DLD Family is always first

With the current COVID-19 pandemic happening, we have realized the effect that this is having on many small businesses - including DLD Dance Center. DLD is the second home of so many children - from early childhood students to teenagers who continue to dance through high school. Without DLD Dance Center, these children would be forced apart from the only dance family they've known.

DLD Dance Center has also taught their children to aspire for their dreams - no matter how high they might be. Students have grown to become Chicago Bullskidz for the Chicago Bulls, appeared on America's Got Talent, placed 1st place in choreography at competitions, and some of the students have become teachers at DLD Dance Center.

A little encouragement from Mr. Mason

DLD is also a family business - Dyanna's mother, Joyce, is the most caring and generous person. We love to see her huge smile as we attend our weekly classes. She greets the families with such a warm and caring heart. Without these two wonderful ladies and DLD's knowledgeable and caring teachers, DLD would not be the great home it is today.

1st Day of Class!

Dyanna is doing everything she can to keep DLD Dance Center going. She has utilized technology, keeps families aware of the most current news that is happening, and checks in with her students during this time to give them a sense of normalcy. We would like to thank Dyanna for always taking the time to make each and every family know they are important.

Yep. We're cute. And we can dance.

Our goal for this Go Fund Me is $50,000 but every little bit helps.
During the time of small businesses being closed because of COVID-19, we know that DLD Dance Center still needs to cover the necessary maintenance of mortgage, utilities and other responsibilities. Seeing that this pandemic will likely impact their summer season and enrollment, we would like to assist in any way we can to keep DLD Dance Center open and so that students know that they can look forward to a Fall season with DLD Dance Center. Getting back to normalcy is the most important thing to bring back to these kids right now.
