How does it feel to be a DSI Elite Performer?

"When people ask us what does it mean to be a DSI Elite performer, we always tell them it’s a dream come true although, to us it means many things, but most of all representing a company that strives for perfection in every single aspect of their business. From the highest quality fabrics, to the very last rhinestone placed. From books to CDs to DVDs, to the very last edit on DSI TV, before it is even published there is always great pride taken in DSI London work. 
 
It is this great pride that make us, as dancers feel so privileged to be an extension of the DSI brand, but honestly we feel more like a part of the DSI family than anything else.
Our favourite days are the trips booked, going to the DSI showroom in London. 
Whether we are there for a new design, a dress fitting, new custom made practice wear, accompanying students who's dreams become a reality or even a behind the scenes tour of DSI with CarolE (If you haven’t been yet book yourself a place!!).  
 
So what people should really ask us is, “what is it like to be a part of the DSI family?” and to that we can only reply… It’s FANTASTIC!!"
