★★★★★ — Lauren, Dec 2019

My daughter loved working with Ms. Kim and the entire experience with CDA's special needs dance program. We highly recommend CDA. We are not the most religious family, and we always felt welcomed and comfortable at CDA. Ms. Kim is a gift.

★★★★★ — Eileen, Dec 2019

Our family loves CDA. The teachers are dedicated to not only teaching dance technique but making each child feel special. The love of Christ radiates throughout the studio!

Your first ballet class at Christian Dance Academy

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.
