From the reviews

Absolutely LOVEE LOVEEE LOVE this Academy! It gives my daughter much needed structure (being the only child). And a “sisterhood” beginning at such a young age, that I never knew she needed. Not only has CEDA been beneficial to her growth & dance, but she it’s an environment that she absolutely loves being a part of.

My niece attends this studio and she always has an amazing time! The atmosphere is great and friendly, and the studio is WELL put together! Definitely would recommend checking this dance studio out if you plan on having your daughters/nieces to dance!

★★★★★ — Nautica, Jan 2025

I love it here. My daughter has now been apart of this dance academy for 3 years now. She absolutely loves it. The owner has such a great spirit and she makes sure everyone around her babies have the same attitude.

★★★★★ — Aiesha, Jan 2025

Creative Expressions Dance Academy is an amazing school for young and older children to start their dance journey! Since my daughter first started, we have felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere from Miss Terry and her Team. They are truly dedicated to helping each child grow in skillset as well as confidence!

Your first ballet class at Creative Expressions 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.

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.
