From the reviews

I was a bit hesitant to write a review because I did not think I could accurately depict how amazing CDC truly is. My daughter started the tiny tots’ classes last winter, which is the best decision ever! The dance instructors are amazing with the kids, they have so much fun. They do so much more than just dance.

★★★★★ — Ebony, Jul 2017

My daughter started dancing at California Dance Company when she was 3 (in 2009). When we started going there, we were excited to see our daughter was being taught the technique that helped her to become the dancer she is, but what really has made us stay, and never consider moving is that CDC coaches care about my…

At California Dance Company, children discover more than dance - they uncover their potential. Compassionate teachers and staff cultivate not only skilled dancers but compassionate individuals. In merely a year, my children have experienced remarkable growth, technically and personally.

LOVE California Dance Company...very excited for a Redding location! They have a great variety of classes, a professional staff, and AMAZING teachers!! I have danced with CDC for 12 years. I've been to multiple other studios, and there are none that push dancers like they do, all while keeping it fun and rewarding!

Your first ballet class at California Dance Company

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
