Our LEGACY
The Castore sisters discovered their love for dance at the tender age of three, a passion that blossomed into both a lifelong career and a thriving business dedicated to the art of dance.
Founded in 2004 in downtown Bayonne, New Jersey, Dance With Me Dance Studio has grown significantly over the past 22 years. More than just a studio, it has become a vibrant community hub, offering local programs and outreach initiatives that emphasize the educational benefits of dance. Grounded in core values of inspiration, motivation, and personal growth, the studio empowers young dancers to reach their full potential, build confidence, and achieve success in all aspects of life.
With a diverse curriculum, Dance With Me balances competitive and recreational dance, reflecting the Castore sisters’ extensive experience. Their competitive dance company is consistently recognized as an award-winning, high-scoring team.
Diana and Gina Castore, both DEA certified and ambassadors for the National Dance Week Foundation, bring a unique blend of professionalism and warmth to their work as educators, choreographers, performers, and judges — infused with the playful spirit that only sisters can share.
With over three decades of experience in the entertainment industry, Diana has worked alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey. Her impressive resume includes appearances in music videos, TV shows such as MTV’s The Grind, commercials, and print campaigns. As a professional dancer and choreographer, she has created work for major recording artists, commercials, TV, film, theater, fashion shows, and professional dance companies.
Diana’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of dancers is equally remarkable. She teaches at prestigious institutions worldwide, leads Master Classes, judges national competitions, and contributes choreography across the country. Under her guidance, many students have gone on to successful careers in dance.
Together with Gina, Diana opened Dance With Me Dance Studio just seven miles from New York City to create an inclusive, welcoming space where dancers of all ages can experience the joy and discipline of dance. Today, the studio is recognized as an award-winning competitive dance program that celebrates passion, creativity, and artistic expression.
Expanding her influence beyond the studio, Diana also founded Epic Talent, a consulting firm providing expert guidance to dance professionals and studios. Additionally, she is the author of The Whimsical Secret Reveal of a Fairy Godmother, a beloved children’s book that showcases her creative spirit.
