From the reviews
my 6 y.o has been attending classes at CCD ever since she was three, I was a bit worried because she is more on the shy side but ever since her very first class until now her face has always lit throughout the whole classes, she feels so confident now that she uses all the moves she’s learned so far to dance in public…
We could not be more pleased with our experience at City Center Dance! Even though my daughter did not start dance classes until high school, there were many class options for her to grow as a dancer with kids her age. The owners, Ian and Sarah, are so kind and welcoming, and the instructors are fabulous.
My daughter loves her ballet class at CCD! She is 2 and her class has helped her so much with her gross motor skills and her stamina. The instructors are warm and friendly, but still manage to hold the students to high expectations, which is the perfect combination.
City Center Dance has been a phenomenal presence in the life of our son, and our entire family. Directors Ian and Sarah are wonderful, patient, fun and so incredibly talented in their right, which has allowed them to attract high caliber teachers whom are all so specially skilled in working with kids of all ages, and…
Your first ballet class at City Center Dance
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.
