Couldn't love CDE more! My daughter was super nervous at first but they really helped her break out of her shell, and now we are getting ready for her first showcase!

I can’t say enough about CDE. My daughter has grown so much as a dancer and in her confidence. She auditioned for middle school dance and placed into the dance ensemble (not typical for 6th grade) and into any level 3 class she’d like. This is due to technique she’s learned at CDE. I look forward to continue to watching her grown under their instruction.

CDE is awesome. Izzy has been with CDE since she was 2! CDE has given our daughter strength confidence and we strongly recommend everyone check out the CDE programs.
