From the reviews
We love the positive attitude and approach to helping young children get a sense of movement and art. My daughter absolutely loves her time here.
Where do I begin. My daughter has been dancing since she was two years old. We needed the ability for her to challenge herself in her artistry. We outgrew our last dance studio. Ms. Nikki saw my daughter dance at a competition and based off of referrals, we moved over to City Park Movement & Arts.
Our 2 children have been attending CPMA on (and off because the kids want to try new things and we let them, then they decide they want to go back!) for 10 years! This studio is a 2nd home, a support network, an inspirational/learning hub for our kids.
We just started with City Park Movement and Art and couldn't be happier! It's the perfect blend of instruction, creativity and fun. With daughters in pre-K and K, we wanted a dance program that was all about the inspiration to learn more - not an overly-structured program that pushes and propels - and we feel so…
Your first ballet class at City Park Movement & Art
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.
