We have two girls who have both been attending Class Act Dance for the past two years. This is an amazing place to learn dance skills and progress on those skills. There is something for everyone at CAD. The studios are always very clean, but more importantly, the instructors are all great! Each one has their own style, yet all are positive, motivating and kind. Our oldest has the utmost respect for her ballet instructor, Ms. Cheryle, and loves the structured environment in her class. Ballet days are definitely her favorite days of the week. Our girls have also learned more than just how to dance here. They are reminded to be good people, and work hard to achieve their goals. This is a lifelong skill which I hold higher than any dance skill they have learned! We quickly made friends with the other dance families as well and our girls count their dance friends as some of their best friends! It's a second family at Class Act Dance.

To me, dance is letting music run through your body either freely or with an organized form. There are many great things about Class Act Dance; however, my most favorite thing is seeing the joy that dance brings to the dancers, the audience, and the instructors at any level or genre.

I feel like my family has grown up at Class Act Dance since 1990. I have loved watching my kids and now my grandkids grow in the arts. From participating in weekly classes to performing in annual Recitals, The Nutcracker, Cinderella and many other performances, my family loves what Class Act dance provides for us and the community. CAD feels like home.

Class Act Dance has always had a special place in my heart because I trained here when I was younger. Now, having 4 of my children dance at CAD makes my heart so happy! I love the teachers. They are always professional, happy and excited to see everyone excel! I am very happy to bring my children here because I know they are getting top notch training with people who truly care and want them to succeed.
