Their performances have graced prestigious events such as the Billboard Awards, the sensational 2020 Super Bowl Half Time Show,  Columbian Network Award Shows, the Disney Music Awards, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the  IHeart Music Festivals.

Not only are Donovan and Autumn exceptional performers, but their choreography has garnered numerous accolades at conventions and competitions throughout the United States. Building on their passion for dance, they are directors of DNA Creatives, a competitive Pre-Professional Dance Company.

Now, the dynamic duo calls the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex their home, where they continue to inspire and captivate audiences with their extraordinary talent and creativity.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

We love their positive attitude, work ethic and dedication to making each dancer the best that they can be

My child has had the pleasure of training with Autumn and Donovan for several years.  We couldn’t be more excited for them to take over the competitive company program that we have been a part of for the last 5 years at Dana’s Studio of Dance Southlake.  They are two of the hardest working people I know.  We love their positive attitude, work ethic and dedication to making each dancer the best that they can be.  Having Directors that have made a name for themselves in the industry and can pave the way for future up and coming pre professional dancers is such an amazing perk of them leading our program.  Their resumes are long and impressive and they are well qualified to train dancers of all ages and abilities. Teamed with the incredibly organized and well run staff at Dana’s Studio of Dance, it is destined to be a successful season.

Autumn and Donovan are an amazing duo who care so much for each of their kids

Both my children have had the pleasure of training with Donovan and Autumn for the last two years.  Both of them, one a graduate and one still training, were able to participate in the concept videos and absolutely loved it.  We have been at DSOD for now 4 years and couldn’t see ourselves at any other place. They have an amazing, caring, and wonderful staff who want the same for every single child. They want them to strive to reach their highest potential, and they work with them to reach their goals.  Autumn and Donovan are an amazing duo who care so much for each of their kids and want them all to succeed. Can’t wait to see what our season holds!

Their passion for the hearts of their students is like none other

Donovan and Autumn not only bring highly skilled and intense training for my dancer, they truly care about the condition of her heart. They want dancers who are strong mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Their passion for the hearts of their students is like none other and they understand that from the heart flows everything else.  Because of that, my dancer found the connection from her heart to her talent and is encouraged to dance with character, endurance, hard work, and commitment. Donovan & Autumn are strong leaders who are encouraging, confident,  patient, tough, hard-working, creative, and constantly in tune with how the dancers are feeling. Thank you, DNA for training my dancer from the inside out and making her stronger, more passionate, and more confident!

Donovan and Autumn are the ultimate professionals

Donovan and Autumn are the ultimate professionals. From the way they teach to the way they communicate with students and parents, we have been incredibly impressed. It is clear that they love what they do, and that they care about their dancers. After my daughter’s first private lesson with Donovan, she came home and said, “Mom! It already got better!” Not only do they push my daughter to grow as a dancer, they also push her to grow as a person. They encourage accountability, kindness, and integrity. We have enjoyed watching our daughter find a new confidence in herself, and look forward to what the future holds at DNA Creatives.
