I’m so glad I found Creative Dance Theatre and my 3,5 years old daughter LOVES it. We tried other ‘dance’ classes but this one is the BEST. Miss Erica is absolutely wonderful with the kids, she is very kind, patient and so creative. Every class is different, there is always a new theme/story/song/props and the kids are learning to dance while having so much fun. I couldn’t think of a better class & environment for my daughter.
We absolutely love this dance studio! My 2- and 3-year-old daughters are naturally very shy, and I was unsure how they would do. But Miss Erica’s class has been absolutely magical. From the very first session, she made them feel so comfortable and included. They now participate in everything and are so excited to go back each week. It’s such a joy to see their confidence grow. Miss Erica has a gift for connecting with little ones, and it truly shows in how happy and engaged the kids are. I can’t recommend this studio enough for anyone looking for a welcoming and nurturing environment for their young dancers!
Our daughter has been enjoying jazz and tap classes at CDT for about 4 years now. The teachers are terrific, very qualified, kind and skilled at working with kids of all abilities and skill levels. The class sizes are just right. The staff make classes and the recitals so fun and memorable for the kids. The owner, Erika also teaches, she is very involved, kind and knowledgeable and took dance classes at CDT when she was younger. Definitely check out CDT, I highly recommend it for the dancer in your family!
We transitioned from a very strict ballet studio that lost my daughters attention to Creative Dance Theatre and couldn’t be happier. This studio is a gem for young dancers. Ms Erika is incredibly kind and patient, creating a space where every child feels seen and supported. It’s a great place to introduce any form of dance for your child. Highly recommended!
I have two girls who attend class at CDT and we absolutely love it! We’ve done Dance n Play (with parent participation), Creative Ballet, and now a Ballet/Tap combo class. We’ve mostly worked with the owner, Ms. Erika and she is a dream! She has such a way with the kiddos and meets all students where they are, both dance wise and emotionally wise. If you’re looking for a fun and supple I tube dance environment, this is the place!
