Behind the Scenes
Our Studio Staff
Joanne DiMaggio
Customer Care Manager
Joanne was introduced to Dance Connections over 15 years ago when her daughters began dancing. All three of her girls loved being a part of Dance Company and taking classes. Over the years, Joanne was a classic "Dance Mom" here, attending countless recitals, repeatedly driving to and from the studio, and developing close friendships among the other moms. She is excited to be a part of the Dance Connections team and helping create a special place here for other kids.
Along with being a mom of three, Joanne also teaches math and science twice a week at a home school tutorial and is a long time Orioles fan.
