About Us
Who Are We?
CDI is a dance studio located in South Carlsbad that specializes in classical dance training for all ages. We believe it is important to cultivate a learning environment that is healthy, all-inclusive, welcoming, and fun! We push our dancers to be the best they can be by providing constructive feedback in a positive manner.
Have you had a studio experience where the teachers were too strict and the dancers were snobby and cliquey? You won’t find that here. We at CDI value moral integrity, and you’ll find that all of our students are genuine and caring individuals. Our wonderful teachers care about our students and strive to create a safe and loving space to ignite the passion for dance in each child. Ask anyone—we truly all feel like one big family. Even former students who have moved on continue to stay in touch and come back to visit periodically!
What Sets Us Apart?
Well, many things! One is that we don’t compete. Competition is great for many studios, but we would rather focus on instilling the LOVE for the ART of dance in our students, rather than promoting competitiveness. But don’t worry! Your student will get to show their skills at our end-of-year recital.
Another aspect that sets us apart is that we make sure only to play appropriate music, teach appropriate dance moves, and choose appropriate costumes based upon your child’s age. We don’t believe in bringing attention to our students’ bodies in a sexualizing or provocative manner at any age. And we don’t encourage listening or dancing to suggestive music containing curse words or questionable lyrics. We pride ourselves on creating family-friendly performances, full of great talent that everyone can enjoy! In other words, you won't be embarrassed to invite Grandma and Grandpa to your child's performance.
What Styles Do We Offer?
We offer classes for all ages in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, musical theater, hip hop, praise dance, and tumbling!
We also offer technique classes in improv, turns and leaps, and stretch and strengthening.
