3 of my kiddos dance here and it is their happy place! The staff is so welcoming and loves each student. They are very skilled at nurturing a kiddos love for dance no matter the style. Also as a parent they truly make you feel like part of a family.

My daughter began taking ballet classes at CDA four years ago after I visited several other dance studios in the surrounding area. What stood out to me the most (and why we selected CDA) was their welcoming approach to new dancers, their respect and support of current dancers, and the growth displayed from varying ages/levels of dancers. The instructor invited my daughter into her class eased my daughter’s hesitations to the point she jumped right in and joined the class! [side note: other local places did not make her nor I feel welcomed, more of an after thought and distraction] Fast forward four years and I (and my daughter) am just as happy, if not more, than that first impression on that preview day. The relationships each instructor builds with each dancer is amazing. The owner knows every dancer by name and is just as excited to see someone new vs. someone who has danced there for years. Each dancer supports one another and is also KIND to one another. My daughter has blossomed not only on stage but behind stage as CDA not only values dancing skills but LIFE skills. Another huge benefit of CDA is their ‘all inclusive’ prices! No hidden fees, not extra costs...up front communication of financial expectations! Specially in these trying times, this is so important. CDA’s end of year performance for the dance studio is my absolute favorite! ALL dancers are welcome and ALL friends/family are invited to attend and celebrate all the accomplishments from the past year’s worth of hard work. There are varying ages and abilities with the studio and the management, instructors and fellow dancers support each dancer and each level equally. CDA offers varying class types at different levels and age groups, really something for everyone. I highly recommend CDA as a place for your current (or future) dancer!

My daughter (4) has been dancing and taking acro classes at CDA for almost 2 years. When we started, I never knew how much joy a dance studio could bring into our lives. The staff is warm and welcoming and know every child by name. The teachers are so creative and loving and the families there have a camaraderie that is contagious. My daughter’s favorite day of the week is dance day! They have fostered a sense of self confidence in her that really shines when she puts on those ballet and tap shoes. If you are thinking of starting dance classes for your little one, CDA is the place to go!!

My daughter started in the 3 year old class this year and we love it! She wakes up everyday and asks if she can go to her ballet class!
