My daughter loves CDMC! The teachers are great and the performances are amazing!
Angela Russo
Both my daughters (3 and 5 years old) attend CDMC and they look forward to going to class every week. All of the CDMC staff are kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. They help build confidence in the dancers and technique all while having fun.
Emily Beezhold
My daughter has been dancing here since she was four and every year she loves it more and grows in what she knows and her maturity level as well. Even though covid was a tough experience for everything CDMC worked their hardest to continue dance online and in person however they could so the kids continued to be able to learn.

We LOVE CDMC! I grew up dancing at here, and now as a parent, I'm so happy to have the opportunity to send my daughter there! She'll be starting her third year there this fall, and I have been so impressed with the professionalism of the teachers, dance curriculum, movement, fun, and confidence my daughter is gaining! The CDMC family is welcoming,, warm, fun, and energetic - exactly what you'd hope for from studio your studio owner and teachers! Plus, CDMC offers a variety of styles and levels, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to dance!
