A Hamburg dance school heading into its 40th season
Dance Expression Dance Arts is a dance school in Hamburg, New Jersey, and most families just call it DEDA. Hamburg had 3,345 residents in 2025, per the Census Bureau, and sits in Sussex County. The median home in town was built in 1983, per the American Community Survey for 2024.
The studio says it has been teaching dance for over 39 years. Its website names this fall as the start of its 40th season. That makes it a fixture for a lot of local families, with kids who start young and keep coming back year after year.
Weekly classes, recitals and performance teams
Most people come for the regular classes. The school describes a mix of styles that includes tap, contemporary and ballet, among others, for both kids and adults. Its website lists programs by age, from Mom & Tot sessions and First Steps for toddlers up through tweens, teens and adult classes.
There's more going on than weekly lessons. The studio lists a recital, birthday parties and a performance company with teams grouped by age, so some dancers move from recreational classes into competition work. It's open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays.
The school holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews. Parents mention the caring, dedicated staff most, along with how much confidence their kids build over time. Many also describe the place as a second family, and a few single out the recitals as a highlight of the year.
If you're new to Hamburg and have a child who wants to dance, start small. The studio lists a free trial class, so you can bring your kid in for one session and see how it feels before you enroll.

Both of our daughters started here at just 4 years old and now they’re proud members of the competition teams. It’s been amazing to watch their journey. The confidence they’ve gained over the years is incredible, and nothing compares to the smiles on their faces every time they walk through those doors. They LOVE being there! What makes this studio so special is the exceptional staff. They are truly one of a kind, supportive, caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each dancer’s growth, both on and off the stage.
My daughter has been enrolled in Dance Expressions for two years, and we have nothing but positive things to say. Dance Expressions creates a positive and welcoming environment for children. I have seen my daughter's confidence and skills grow with each class. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure the students are having a positive experience, and most importantly, having fun as well.
My girls and I are so excited we are approaching DEDA recital time, it is a time of fun and excitement for our whole family. They both have had another wonderful year at DEDA. Thank you, Miss Lisa, for all the love and joy you and your amazing staff have given us for the past 4 years.
