Children’s Dance Theater

My 2yr old loves it here, the teachers are great with our kiddos. I look forward to many more years of dance at this studio.

My daughter is finishing year 3 with this studio. Besides the normal dance classes, there are plenty of opportunities within the studio to branch out. Their yearly productions of the Nutcracker is open to kids of all ages. There are tumbling classes offered as well. Dance is pricey, no matter where you go. I find the tuition to be very reasonable. We have had wonderful teachers in every class. My only tiny complaint is the longer term clients have formed some strong cliques on the parent side which has worked its way down to the children. I suppose this is the case with anywhere. It is hard to be new & even harder on a shy kid. I would & have recommended CDT to several friends. From what I have seen teachers guide, push only when it is needed and never push hard enough to turn the kids off. I must give a shout out to Stephanie (the owner) for keeping it fun yet increasing skill level almost weekly. I almost did not sign up my daughter for dance lessons in the beginning because of horror stories I had heard from many members of a now defunct dance studio closer to my home. Went to CDT just as a trial and here we are still.

My daughter spent several years in this dance studio. It is low-​stress, easy-​going style for fun. Miss Stephanie is very organized and has proven herself to be a great business woman – starting a studio from scratch and turning it into a success. Unfortunately, sometimes the money pushes all other considerations, but I’ve never been a small-​business owner and I’m sure it is much more difficult than it looks. Some teachers are better than others and the dance moves look extremely repetitive from one class to the next without significant technical improvement. I would recommend it (and have, to several friends who have signed up) for very young children (3 – 6) who just want to move and have fun. Just monitor your child’s interest level and be prepared to change studios if her interest gets more serious or focused. If you want your child to show significant improvement with specific individual instruction, this is probably not the place.
