From the reviews

Miss Cristy and Miss Meredith Testa are awesome. My daughter is a bit shy and they made us feel right at home. I love this dance studio!! They are super friendly and great at what they do. During quarantine they helped maintain normalcy as much as possible to their dancers.

★★★★★ — Christina, Jul 2019

I worked with Director Cristina for many years now. She has pushed me to be the best that I can be as a dancer, a choreographer, and a person. Her wisdom and friendship are invaluable. Of all my teachers, she was the only one to encourage me to search within and be a performer instead of just going through the motions.

★★★★★ — Gabriela, Nov 2018

CMG dance is the best dance school I've had my daughter in so far ( there have been threw). Everyone here is incredibly sweet and polite. All the children get to be in the spotlight at some time or other whether on their Instagram page or on stage. The recital was so well organized and actually entertaining.

Your first ballet class at CMG Dance Project

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.
