Dance Styles

CDC offers a variety of levels and styles for all ages and abilities!

Ballet

Ballet has a beautiful tradition that has withstood the test of time and still brings to every student a panoply of treasures to be discovered.
Your child will be guided in a caring, encouraging and supportive environment into discovering their innate creativity as they develop and refine their skills.  Our classical ballet training puts its emphasis on the physical and emotional wellbeing of our students.  They will develop skills and confidence that are going to support them through out their life.  Ballet technique enhances strength, flexibility of mind and body, discipline, co-ordination, team work, self esteem, self reliance and focus to mention a few.  Ballet, being the foundation of all dance style, will support your child’s aspiration in becoming the best they can be.
