About Ms. Diane...

Ms. Diane has been involved in the Louisville Performing Arts   Community for 46 years.  She established the dance academy in 1979, offering all types of dance, voice, special needs, and performing arts for ages 3 to adult for the past 33 years.  She was  instructed locally by Patsy Bloore in all types of dance and has studied under many top choreographers on Broadway such as Debbi Dee, Gus Giordano, Frank Hatchett, Charles Kelly, Jimmy Tate, and cast performers from Riverdance Celtic and Lord of the Dance.  Ms. Diane is a certified member of D.E.A and attends current national workshops from Dance Makers In Myrtle Beach, Chicago Dance Connection and Broadway Dance Center in New York.  Ms. Diane and her staff have developed a professional syllabus, based on nationally and internationally recognized methods, that are used for evaluating and placing students in the proper level.  Many of her students have gone on to be professional performers and dance instructors. Others have won national high point awards and have received full scholarships to New York City and other professional dance companies.  She has students that are currently Radio City Rockettes, performers with Walt   Disney World, and cruise ship entertainers.  All members of her current staff are former students of Diane Moore Dance Academy.

These classes are for all levels of dance for ages 3 to adult. In addition, we teach solos, duets, trios, and small groups.  Our students perform daily at the Kentucky State Fair and entertain with many spring and Christmas programs throughout our community.

The studio is very active in Kentucky as well as all over the country with our dance troupe.  Our dancers have studied and performed in New York City, Walt Disney World, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Chicago and on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.  We have also performed at the Diamond Derby Celebrity Gala, the Kentucky State Fair, the Louisville Tonight television show, Kings Island, the Coca-Cola Talent Competition, and the Louisville Zoo.  We are the Mike Linnig’s Pepsi Entertainers and also perform for many local organizations,   nursing homes, hospitals, malls and other events.  We have performed on live television for over 20 years on the WHAS Crusade For Children.  We have developed National Champions since 1979. 

Our Miracle Dancers are students with many types of special needs.  They consist of over 50 dancers and are the featured highlight on the WHAS Crusade for Children.  They have performed on the Morning Show, the Jefferson County Public Schools “Back To School Kickoff”, the National Spina Bifida   Conference, for Governor Ernie Fletcher’s Ky Employee Charitable Campaign, the Miss Wheelchair KY Pageant and recently for the National Conference of Physicians for Spinal Cord Injury Research.  Diane, her staff and the Miracle Dancers were featured in the April 2008 and May 2009 issue of Dance Teacher Magazine.  We are currently in the process of creating a non-profit organization to help support our Miracle Dancers. 

We appreciate the opportunity to teach your child and hope that we can influence them in a positive and helpful way for the rest of their lives.  Children are a precious gift and we strive to make them successful in the performing arts and also in their daily lives.
