about Us

Welcome to DNCollective

Welcome to DanceMakers Namari Collective (DNCollective)—where passion, purpose, and professional dance training come together.

Born from the merger of DanceMakers of Atlanta and Namari Dance Center, DNCollective brings together 35 years of dance education, artistic excellence, and commitment to developing the whole dancer. Together, we are building upon two powerful legacies to create an even stronger future for dance in Metro Atlanta.

With locations in Midtown Atlanta, Sandy Springs, and Douglasville, we proudly provide exceptional dance training for dancers ages 3–18, from those stepping into the studio for the very first time to advanced and pre-professional artists preparing for the next stage of their journey.

Our dancers receive well-rounded training in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Tap, Hip Hop, and more, while developing the technique, artistry, discipline, confidence, and versatility needed both inside and beyond the studio.

At DNCollective, we don't simply teach dance—we train artists, inspire confidence, build community, and create opportunities for every dancer to discover what they are capable of becoming.

Whether your dancer is here to discover a love for movement, strengthen their training, perform, compete, or pursue dance professionally, there is a place for them within our Collective.
