Dbk Dance & Performing Arts

A Tradition of Teaching, Inspiring, and Loving

WE ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN a dance studio! Our staff is committed to making a difference in the lives of young people. We not only share a genuine passion for the performing arts, we also believe in teaching students important life lessons that lead them to be successful adults. Building character and confidence are so important to our youth. The lessons learned at DBK are intentionally designed to teach students the value of serving with humility and grace.

Our students become our family, so it is important that they are trained in a loving and positive environment. We share the excitement of every skill mastered and goal met with each student. We take so much pride in instilling strong work ethics and teaching our students that true quality takes time in a society where instant gratification is so prevalent.

Our curriculum is based on a syllabus set forth by Dance Educators of America, which

Mrs. Debbie Bourg, Owner/ Director of DBK, is a Certified Honor Member. We offer the widest variety of classes in our area. Classical ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical/contemporary, and hip hop. We incorporate quite a bit of musical theater into our jazz curriculums as well. This not only gives the students some acting skills, but helps tremendously with self expression. Our Tiny Treasures program for ages 2 1/25 is a fabulous way to introduce younger students to the performing arts. These classes include ballet, tap, and tumbling in a format that builds coordination of motor skills, focus, as well as helping learn class structure. This is most helpful with their academic success!

The variety of levels we offer can accommodate all ages from Mommy-andMe through adult. Whether a dancer has inspiration to train for a professional career, prepare for high school or college dance team, get it shape, or just have fun - we have it all! Many of our dancers began as a recreational dancer and because they developed such a passion for the art of dance, expanded their training and have received amazing scholarships and career opportunities!

Through the years our staff and dancers have won many choreography awards, competitions, and even national titles. However, we are most proud of all that we have taught our students about using their talent to give back! Our company dancers spend many hours participating in local charity events. Our annual Fashion Fusion production raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Cancer Foundation League of Northeast Louisiana. Outstanding contributions to the community awarded Mrs. Debbie Bourg and staff the prestigious Female Champion Award from the West Monroe/ West Ouachita Chamber of Commerce last year.
