From the reviews

My daughter loves dancing here and has a lot of fun. But we actually chose CCDE because Ms. Deena provides a classic style of instruction from her own experience as a world class prima ballerina. Emphasis is on self-discipline with personal responsibility while also working with others.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Oct 2019

CCDE is an amazing organization! The skills and character my Son is building extend way beyond the studio. Modeling healthy habits and providing a platform to bring Ballet to the Community... I am proud to be part of this CCDE family.

★★★★★ — Lila, Oct 2018

My grand daughter takes dance there and has learned more than dance. Self confidence is a big one. Thank you for what you do.

★★★★★ — Ron, May 2021

My daughter and I have been involved with this organization for several years now. It is amazing for me to see how much she has learned and grown thanks to instructors at the CCDE. We look forward to many more years of ballet with the CCDE.

Your first ballet class at Children's Center For Dance Education

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.
