Background

Diana Williams, famously known as Miss D, is not just a successful dancer but an intelligent woman many aspire to be. Williams was born December 1, 1978, in Jackson, Mississippi, to Donald and Gladys. She attended Raymond High School and furthered her education at Jackson State University. In University, Williams was the captain of the cheerleading squad. She got a degree in Criminal Justice in 2005 and interned in the Juvenile Justice System. Williams began dancing at age four at Angie Luke School of Dance, where she learned various types of dances, including tap dance, jazz, ballet, and belly dancing.

Williams is famously known for dancing and was a member of the Eye of the Tiger Drill team from 1982 to 1988. When Williams was 19, she acted as an adult film actress but soon left it to pursue her passion as a dancer. She worked as a recreation aide and dance instructor at Jackson in 2001, and in 2002, Williams started her dance program named Grove Park Dancrettes, which consisted of middle and high school members. Williams worked as a choreographer for the Prancing Diamond at Callaway Highschool from 2006 to 2008. She started a dance studio, Dollhouse Dance Factory, in 2010 and became a part of the dance team. Williams and her group went viral on social media, and the success attracted T.V. networks like Lifetime to conceive it into a reality show. The show “Bring It” was then brought to life because of this. Her fame skyrocketed due to her presence on the reality show “Bring It,” where teams compete to show who’s the best in hip-hop majorette competitions. In 2019, Williams published an autobiography titled “Standing in the Shade.”

Williams married her longtime lover, Robert Williams, in 2009 and had a child named Cobe Williams. Williams is also a stepmother to Aja Williams.
