From the reviews
When our old studio closed during covid and we had to find a new dance home, CDC welcomed us with open arms and it's been nothing but amazing ever since. My daughter has evolved and continues to grow as a dancer and since then our son has also joined the studio.
There aren't words to express how much we love and cherish CDC. My daughter took Tiny Dancer II, Jr.Hip Hop, and recently finished an incredibly creative week of Princess Camp at the studio...and it is no exaggeration to say that she loved every minute.
Both of my daughters have been dancing at CDC since they were 2 years old, and it has been an incredible journey for them. The school offers more than just dance classes; it fosters a warm, family-like community that values creativity and inclusivity.
My daughter has attended CT Dance Conservatory since the age of 2 (she is 12 now). The studio owners truly care about the children that enter the building & shower them with love & support. Their dance classes are fun & they learn great technique & the history of dance as well.
Your first ballet class at Connecticut 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.
