From the reviews
We love Contemporary Dance Academy! The teachers are amazing and both of my daughters, ages 6 and 8, look forward to classes each week. I like that they offer a recreational track for kids just wanting to take some classes and fast track for dancers who are serious about it as a career.
We've been with CDA for almost ten years. We are grateful for the staff who consistently provide a safe, accepting, and professional environment for ALL dancers. The staff are incredibly dedicated, supportive (really look out for the students), and are excellent role models.
We love CDA! My daughter has danced at CDA for 7 years. I could not ask for a better experience for her. The teachers are talented, professional, caring, and approachable. The growth we see in my daughter each year is amazing and well rounded.
My daughter has been attending this academy for over a year. She is a tiny tot and we LOVE miss Hailey!! The studio is pretty affordable compared to others in the area. We love it and look forward to attending for many years!
Your first ballet class at Contemporary 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.
