From the reviews

Chesterfield Dance Center is such an amazing studio. This is our first year but we are so very pleased and thankful to be a part of their family. Prior to joining CDC my daughter was feeling a disconnect and she asked for a new start.

★★★★★ — Shaun, Feb 2021

For the past 11 years, Chesterfield Dance Center has been more than just a dance studio—it has been a second home for my daughter. From her very first class to now, as she prepares to take her next steps in life, CDC has provided her with a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where she has not only grown as a…

★★★★★ — Nanesska, Mar 2025

Chesterfield Dance Center quickly became our daughter’s favorite place to be! We started by trying a summer session after moving to the area 3 years ago and we haven’t looked back. The teachers are so knowledgeable and make the classes a fun experience for kids.

★★★★★ — Megan, Mar 2025

Hands down, the best dance school! Aside from the skill level of the teachers (and I don't mean teachers who have taken classes with famous people or at conventions or happen to have a degree in dance).

Your first ballet class at Chesterfield Dance Center

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.
