  • Bilma Diaz [Owner]

    Hi! I'm an Instructor and the Owner of DivaDance Scottsdale!
    I'm proud to say that DivaDance North Phoenix is a veteran owned small business, and I thank you for supporting me! I'm originally from New York City and a graduate of Adelphi University. I'm also a mother to 1 young boy, and a new baby girl on the way! The mission and values of DivaDance are what I most fell in love with. Sharing the love of dance and fitness with people of all shapes, sizes, shades, backgrounds, and levels of dance experience are what drives me each day. Can't wait to dance with you!
