From the reviews
We were fortunate to hear about CDC when we moved to Colorado Springs several years ago. We came with several years of dance classes, but because of Miss Mindy’s and Miss Deb’s incredible instruction, care, and investment, as well as a safe and welcoming studio environment, our daughter blossomed and fell in love with…
Concert Dance Conservatory is where my passion for dance began. I have been a part of the CDC community for almost 5 years, and in addition to being an exceptional dance school, CDC is also a warm, welcoming, and close-knit community.
My daughter was a founding member of Concert Dance Conservatory and has known the owner/artistic director, Mindy, for 8 years. Mindy is the most knowledgeable, caring, and passionate dance instructor I could have ever hoped for my daughter.
We have been customers and are coming up on our 3rd annual recital with Concert Dance Conservatory. I could not be more pleased with CDC and have recommended the studio to several friends. We chose the studio for several reasons, but most importantly, Ms.
Adult ballet at Concert Dance Conservatory
Concert Dance Conservatory runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Concert Dance Conservatory
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.
