Our curriculum is designed not to merely teach students dances,
but rather HOW to dance.  We make sure that all CDE! dancers are
given the best opportunity to succeed in both recreational and/or
professional dance, which ever their preference.  Therefore, we
not only teach the basics,but depending on their age and class,
dancers will also learn dance history, music appreciation, audition
preparation, team building, what goes on behind the scenes of
stage performances & music videos, and much more!
Ballet - The foundation of all dance
forms.  Body placement, flexibilty,
alignment, strength, and technique are
achieved through barre and center floor
work.  Proper terminology and the
background of steps being presented are
used in every class.

Jazz - Students will explore traditional
and contemporary styles.  Students focus
upon understanding the importance of
proper ballet technique as a foundation for
correct jazz technique.  Each class
incorporates warm up, exercises across
the floor, and center work or combinations.

Tap - Students will explore traditional and
rhythm tap styles.  Students are
introduced to the history, proper
terminology, tap steps, and proper
technique.  

Contemporary/Character/Improv -
Students will explore the fundamentals of
many styles of movement to completely
contrasting pieces of music.  Grasping
counts, beats and meanings of musical
pieces are highly focused upon.  We stress
the importance of interpreting through
movement what is heard through sound.

Hip/Hop - Students will explore some of
the hottest variations of "hip-hop" and
"funk" styles in dancing today.  Emphasis
is placed upon finding different beats and
moving to them in a choreographed way
that reflects the musical style. Confidence
and originality are focused on constantly,
while also learning to put these concepts
into a choreographed group routine.


We also offer private lessons for pageant
routines, solo performance, and individual
practice.
