Dance Is the Tool. Growth Is the Goal.

Using dance and acrobatics to help children grow into confident, resilient, and self-believing individuals.

At the heart of D.Light is the Spark within every child.

Through movement, encouragement, and trust, we help children uncover their inner strength, the kind that stays with them, shaping how they face challenges throughout life.

Our Story

D.Light was created from the belief that dance should never be only about steps, routines, or results.

Movements can be forgotten.
Trophies eventually lose their shine.
But what dance builds inside a child - confidence, courage, self-belief - can stay with them for life.

After years of professional training, competition, and coaching, one thing became clear:

Competitions play an important role in sport and dance.
They can inspire children to work towards goals, develop discipline, and experience the value of teamwork and perseverance.

However, competition is only one part of the journey - not the reason to begin.

At D.Light, children are supported whether they choose a competitive path or simply want to enjoy movement, build confidence, and grow through dance.

Hey, Meet the Coach

Daria Buzykina (O'Brien)

My name is Daria, or Dasha, and I am the founder and coach behind D.Light.

I know what it means to train at a professional level, to work towards podium results, and to win. I have experienced the intensity, discipline, and joy of competition myself, and I am proud of the results my dancers achieve.

But what matters to me even more is who children become along the way.

As a coach, I lead by example. Through dance and acrobatics, I teach children far more than technique:

how to manage pressure
how to step forward even when something feels uncomfortable
how to respect others
how to lose with dignity and win with humility

Dance becomes a language through which we talk about life -

responsibility, resilience, teamwork, and self-belief.
