Context Behind Movement
Our studio is tailored to meet the needs of busy adults, with expert instructors who are passionate about delivering top-notch training. Our CD Method shifts the focus from only learning choreography to building a deeper understanding of movement; blending technique, body mechanics, and practical tools to help dancers move with confidence in any setting.
“I joined the CD fam in 2018 and was immediately impressed by the quality and breadth of training, not to mention the supportive community feel. You will grow and feel challenged in CD, but you’ll also feel welcomed, have a ton of fun, and make lasting friendships along the way.”

“The 16-week progressive is a great format if you like to have something to build on and a target to aim for (and just a little bit of pressure). The instructors I have worked with so far have been fantastic and their fun personalities make it clear there is a great community and culture being fostered here, also evident through the dancers drawn to the studio.”
