Interested in a competitive level dance training program? 

Does your child love to perform? 

Want to strengthen your child's self confidence, health and social skills?

CDM’s Competitive Program is a successful intensive program that has produced professional and passionate dancers for over 20 seasons. 

The focus is to educate and empower our students to become well-rounded dancers. We develop and train students at a high caliber of technique and performance with the intent to foster the athlete and artist. We value and build a strong sense of self-esteem, confidence and teamwork into our dancers. 

Competitive team members will build life-long friendships and learn the importance of cooperation, sportsmanship, conflict resolution and time management skills. 

AUDITIONS ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE.

Dancers will take part in a fun Jazz Dance Class and a short dance routine. 

Note: Current Competitive Team Members do not need to re-audition.

NEW PROGRAM: Youth Ensemble Program

Are you interested in performing more? Try the Youth Ensemble! NEW program for recreational dancers to increase training and performing opportunities.

CDM's Youth Ensemble is a program for the dancer who would like to increase their training and performance opportunities without the extra pressure of competitions. Youth Ensemble Dancers will be required to take at least one jazz or ballet class, one musical theatre class (includes, jazz and tap), and a lyrical/contemporary class. 

They will work towards examinations in at least one dance form and they will learn choreography to perform at CDM's Showcase in March, one festival and the recital at the end of the year.

Recreational vs. Competitive Dancing

What Parents Should Know

No matter what program parents choose for their children, dance is a wonderful way to build commitment, get healthy, and have a lot of fun doing both. By weighing a child’s abilities and individual personality against the nature of recreational and competitive dance programs, you can choose which option is best for your child's physical and mental development.
