Sue Sampson-Dalena Owner/Artistic Director of the Dance Studio of Fresno, had a vision to reach young people all over the City of Fresno over 30 years ago. She dreamed of teaching the art of dance and the value of it. Her vision sparked an explosion that erupted the moment The Dance Studio opened its doors. Her efforts took The Dance Studio national, competing and guest performing in major dance v

enues all over the Country. Through the years, The Dance Studio of Fresno has attracted thousands of dancers from throughout the State of California and especially from the Central Valley. Students have enjoyed the opportunity to learn directly from Sue and to experience dance on another level. The instruction, patience, and discipline have paid off for everyone, as Sue led a team of dancers, administrators, and instructors to the brand new, state of the art Dance Studio in 2001. The 12,000 square foot facility includes seven separate classrooms with parent viewing areas, a snack bar, and dressing rooms. Sue employs a team of 25 teachers and staff, has an enrollment of approximately 1000 students, and conducts over 120 classes each week (plus additional private lessons and team rehearsals).

🎉✨ HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, TEACHER CHARLIE! ✨🎉

We may be a few days late, but we couldn’t let the week go by without celebrating our incredible Teacher Charlie! 🥳

Charlie brings so much knowledge, experience, and passion to TDS, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he pours into our dancers. His work with our Boys Technique program is so valuable — challenging our dancers, building strong foundations, and giving them the tools, confidence, and understanding to continue growing as artists and athletes. 💪🏼🕺

A brilliant educator with a wealth of information and such a gift for sharing it, Charlie is an important part of our TDS faculty and family. ❤️

We hope you had an AMAZING birthday, Charlie! We’re sending you lots of belated birthday love from your entire TDS family! 🎂🎈🎉

✨ PRECISION JAZZ WITH PAIGE ✨

What a NIGHT! 🤩 We loved having TDS alum and Radio City Rockette Paige Litle back in the studio sharing her knowledge, experience, and artistry with our dancers! ❤️

From incredible advice and attention to detail to choreography we absolutely LOVED — Paige brought so much to the room. And getting to put on the heels and DANCE?! 👠🔥 Yes please!

There’s something extra special about watching one of our own come home and pour into the next generation of TDS dancers. 🥹✨

Thank you, Paige, for such an inspiring night! We loved every second! ❤️
