Miss Madi
Owner, director & instructor
My name is Madeline Jahnz, I graduated in 2014 from Pine City High School in Pine City, MN. In May of 2018 I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Superior with a bachelor of science in exercise science and a minor in business administration. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I have been apart of many dance studios throughout Minnesota and North Dakota due to my fathers job. Dancing at so many different studios has shown me different styles of teaching that now gives me a variety of options to choose from. I have experience in dance line, jazz, tap, hip hop, ballet, musical theater and lyrical dance. I started teaching dance through the East Central community ed in 2014. Diamond Dance Studio became an LLC in 2018 and I opened a dance studio space the Summer of 2018!
Other than dance, I enjoy running and spending time with my husband, our two dogs, three cats, and twelve chickens.
Dance is my passion and I cannot wait to share it with my students year to year!

Autumn Ogdahl
Office Manager
Autumn has been a dance mom for the last 4 years with Diamond Dance Studio. She currently works for United Healthcare as a Business Process Analyst and brings a lot of knowledge of office work from her years of experience there. When she is not working, she is kept very busy by her very active daughter and three very spoiled cats. She tends her garden in the summer months and spends the cold months reading. Her knowledge as a current competitive dance mom and her office experience will be a great addition to our staff.
Sara Bitton graduated from Pine City High School in 2012 and then attended Gustavus Adolphus where she earned a B.A. in dance. She works as a para at East Central Schools, is the Pine City dance team coach and enjoys dancing at Dance Tech Studios in Forest Lake. We are SO excited to have her join our dance family!
