Becoming a Well Rounded Dancer
Middle & High School is a time to find out who you are, what your interests are, and how to spend your time. Whether just starting out or strengthening your skills, you are free to take the classes you love, or try something new. Each dancer can continue with the standards of ballet and tap for a solid foundation, but they can also add on popular styles of jazz, musical theater, lyrical and pointe. No matter what your goals are, we have classes that will fit.
Classical ballet is the foundation for all styles and is required for jazz and lyrical classes. Dancers will be stronger, more flexible and progress more rapidly when they continue Ballet studies. Age is used as a guideline for placement, but experience is more often considered when selecting a level.

Tap: Emphasis on basics, rhythms, technique, sounds.
Jazz: Emphasis on flexibility, technique, jumps, turns, and performance skills. Ballet enrollment is required.

"I can’t express enough how amazing this dance studio is My daughters dance at different level here and they all love it. The staff here are are great at what they do!"
-Tutti (Proud Dance Mom)
"We couldn’t be happier that we found CDMS!
My daughter danced at her first studio for five years, and when it sadly closed, we began the search for a new dance home. We tried another studio, but it just wasn’t the right fit—so much so that my daughter was ready to quit dance altogether. Then we discovered CDMS, and everything changed.
From the very beginning, we were met with warmth, professionalism, and a clear passion for dance. The staff is not only incredibly welcoming but also knowledgeable and well-versed in technique and training. The studio is organized, which makes a world of difference for busy families.
Most importantly, my daughter has regained her love for dance. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful dance family."
-Olivia (Proud Dance Mom)
"Creative Dance & Music Studio has become home to our dancer going on three years now. Over her 10 years of dance, we have been to multiple studios and have changed for multiple reasons. Creative has been a solid choice from day one. Quality instruction with curriculum and terminology, exceptional service, studio is always clean, they’re very well organized and make everything EASY on you which is exactly what I need. They’re easy to reach for any questions and you can order everything you need in-studio. Here, you get exactly what you pay for and it’s worth every dime. Additionally, dancer’s costumes are modest and choreography is always age appropriate which was a must for us."
