From the reviews
We LOVE Columbia City Jazz! This is such a wonderful place for kids to learn how to dance. My son took classes and was a member of the company for years. Now my daughter is taking classes and participating in summer camps and the holiday show. The instruction is the very, very best. Ms.
We just finished up our second year with Columbia City Jazz and we couldn't be happier with our dance home. As a mom, my daughter's safety is my number one priority and I know she is in the best care with Mrs. Shannon and the rest of the CCJ staff. The curriculum is well balanced with excellent instruction and FUN!
Our experience with Columbia City Jazz this past year was wonderful. I am very familiar with the recreational dance environment and CCJ offers first class service to the dancers and parents.
2018 - 2019 was our first year dancing, and I am so glad we went with CCJ. My daughter has found a love for dancing and we will definitely be following that through. I personally appreciate how classy and tasteful they keep the music and the costumes.
Your first ballet class at CCJ Conservatory
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.
