We at Dancer's Edge believe in only the best for our students.  We feel that our instructors, while being knowledgeable in the art, should also be able to interact with the students in a positive, friendly manor.  They should be able to keep classes fun and entertaining while still providing an excellent learning environment.  Our instructors do just that!

   Dianna Prickett-Hamm - Owner/Instructor

    Dianna Prickett-Hamm began learning the different dance arts at a very young age. Under the direction of Sharon and Stan Rogers at the Arkansas Dance Academy, she developed a strong foundation in the Cecchetti Method of Ballet, various styles of Tap and Jazz, as well as Spanish Dance.  At age eleven, she was accepted into the company at  Little Rock Civic Ballet,  under directors Cater and Lorrain Cranford. There she received intense training with Manolo Agullo of the renowned Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Antonio Mesa and Maureen Migden.

    She has extended her innovative talents into many dimensions of art including a background in production for films, commercials, and industrials.  Additionally, she studied voice with the popular studio, Vocal Power in Los Angeles, California.

    She has produced, directed, and judged numerous competitions on the regional, state, and national levels.  She is a much sought-after expert on dance, choreography and showmanship, as is attested by her many invitations to conduct workshops across the nation.

    Dianna believes in a strong support for the community and is always looking to increase involvement in youth development. Her values stem from a long history of hard work and perseverance.  She works hard to encourage the youth of today to do the same.

Anything Is Possible!!!! 

    Dancer's Edge Studios believes in the creativity of its students.  In efforts to inspire everyone who enters the facility we chose vibrant colors to promote positive energy and thinking.  With 5,000 square feet of space, each room features its own character and style!!!! 

    The lobby features two leather sofas and several cushioned chairs for your seating pleasure.  The room is painted in lime and teal colors; You can't help but smile when you enter the building!  The lobby also provides parents with a large flat screen television featuring none other than the students as the dedicate themselves to the dance arts!

    Studio A (aka. The Purple Room) once our largest of our studios is used for a wide variety of dance styles.  It features Kahrs Hardwood Activity Floors, that are second to none.  These floors prove to be perfect for dance and feature an advanced subfloor to help protect the students from injury (such as sprains and torn ligaments) while they dance.  These floors are seen at some of the top venues across the world.  The room contains 8 feet tall mirrors running the full length of the room.  To top it all off, it is painted with a light plum color on the mirrored wall and a darker plum color for the rest of the room.

    Studio B (aka. The Pink Room) or "The Tap Room" is the slightly smaller of the two studios.  This room is primarily used for tap, as evidence of the aluminum tap residue seen on the floor.  It, too, features Kahrs Hardwood Activity Flooring as we find these floors to provide excellent feedback from the taps and the sound quality is absolutely amazing.  The studio has 8 feet tall mirrors running its full length and is trimmed in a vibrant hot pink adjacent to a light pink contrast color.

    Studio C (aka. The Orange Room) is the largest and newest of our studios.  Having just been added in December of 2010, it features 1,250 square feet of space.  Given its size, it allows dance groups of any size to spread out and master their routines just like they would on stage.  It too, features a sprung dance floor and is great for gymnastics and acrobatics, all while protecting the students joints in the process.  It has warm orange walls accented by a large grey wall that are sure to make students feel encouraged.

    Our facility also contains a large dressing room with lockers, two large tile bathrooms, and a water station to keep our students hydrated. 

    While the studios are important features of Dancer'e Edge, our STUDENTS are the MAIN feature!  We feature a top-of-the-line video system allowing viewing of all three studio rooms and their students from the lobby.  This allows the students to be more

in-tune with the techniques without extra distractions.

    We also take pride in supporting the surrounding communities by providing an affordable place to rent for birthday parties, school dance team practices, etc.  Call the studio for more information (501) 794.0700.
