Dance coach Dianna "Miss D" Williams is moving the fifth season of her Lifetime reality show "Bring It!" to Atlanta as she opens a third dance studio in Stone Mountain later this month.

Williams, who started her first dance team in 2001, already owns studios in Birmingham and Jackson, Miss., where the show was based for four seasons.

Her new Dollhouse dance studio will open September 30 at noon for student registration, ages 3 to 18. The address is 5370 US Highway 78, Suite 25 in Stone Mountain. According to her Instagram page, classes start October 9 and will include many different dance styles including tap, jazz, hip hop, ballet, contemporary and breakdancing.

During an interview last year, Williams said she is proud to bring Jackson, Miss. to the masses. “Most people don’t even know where Jackson, Miss. is and that something as notable and amazing as this comes out of there,” she said in 2016. “We’re proud of where we’re from and doing a hip-hop dance style that has been popular in the South for years. I love that we can share it with the world.”
