Studio is extremely clean and staff is very friendly. Their Choreography is unique to each class and well planned. In some studios it is very clear what teachers taught what classes based on choreography and costumes. At CSDS you do no see that at all!

CSDS has made me grow as not only a dancer but a person, they are super sweet, loving and kind. I tried a few studios before CSDS but this studio has made me grow so much these 5+ years!!!!

Ive had both my daughters at this studio for years and couldnt be happier with their experience here. We tried two other studios before finding the right fit here and couldnt imagine ourselves elsewhere. Beyond offering great technique and teaching, theyve built confidence and more in my girls. Highly recommend.

Clean studio, nice teachers and good choreography. Over-all the staff and owners are kind and professional. Teachers are not required to post new dance routines or steps so not the best accommodations during COVID.

Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Because of their negligence, my sister had to have a hip surgery at 14 to repair cartilage damage and now has chronic migraines because the teacher wasn't spotting when she was doing tricks & she fell on her head. Both injuries could have been prevented. On top of that, the owner's 40+ year-old son-in-law harassed her (a minor) online and when brought up to the owner/staff, they accused my sister and father of lying and covered it up. I wouldn't feel safe leaving her there alone & am appalled that they're covering up that kind of behavior when all or most

I can't tell you how much of a thrill it was for me to watch my 5 year old granddaughter doing her dances at her recital with a smile on her face. You can see the pride of real accomplishment in her and the other dancers' faces. As well as training dancers, they are building confidence, self-esteem and outgoing personalities.
