From the reviews
CDA is the best dance studio ever! The teachers are amazing and the students are also great- the opportunities for performing and competing are endless!
CDA is the most amazing dance studio! The teachers are so loving, kind, fun and talented! They teach more to these kids than dance. They teach how to be kind, patient, caring and teamwork. During this difficult time they work even harder to send videos and keep the kids engaged.
My daughter has been dancing with CDA since the studio opened (and many years earlier where Diana was her acro teacher at another studio). This studio strikes the perfect balance of fun and serious dance instruction (work hard -play hard).
Great dance studio for all…the families here range from kids going for recreation with 1 class/week up to the highly dedicated and award-winning competition team groups. My girls have learned a lot coming here over the years, increasing their flexibility and coordination. We are happy to be part of this great studio!
Your first ballet class at Connecticut 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.
