I have been to many other dance school recitals over the years and they dont compare to PAPA! The Nutcracker performance they did at Elsinore was absolutely unbelievable! Very professional and beautifully done! Tonight was their annual Dance Recital also at Elsinore, and it also was so impressive!! Sara hasn't aged in 20 years, & is still SO sweet to the children. I highly recommend this school to anyone in search of the BEST Dance school around!!!

My daughter has been going to CDT for the past two years. She started out doing one ballet class a…read moreweek, and at the time, I expected her to be the kid at the recital that either refused to go on stage, or freak out when she realized she was on stage. I was blown away at the confidence and skills she has learned at CDT. She then added Jazz and Hip Hop the next season, and now the whole repertoire. The change dance has made in her life has been formative, and I credit Zoe and her staff with creating an environment that is clearly nurturing and supportive. The older dancers are positive role models and cheer on the younger ones during their recitals. Expectations to parents are clearly communicated. Each recital is well organized and executed (with help and thanks to parent volunteers). Best of all, my daughter looks forward to every class.

We tried another studio in Salem prior to Classic Tap, it failed in all aspects. The first time I stepped into Classic Tap and met Jane, the owner, I literally got tears in my eyes, this was the best decision to move my kids here. This is a family run, family oriented company, they are fun, they are warm, the kids learn great technique. I have to say we are moving out of state and I am so sad about leaving this studio (as are my girls) and the great people in it. :( I wouldn't say a negative word about this place or the people. If you have kids that want to dance, this is the place. You won't be disapointed!!

If you are a beginner dancer, I highly recommend this place! Lora is a kind and wonderful teacher…read more The environment is low key and she makes it easy and fun to learn to dance. I get very nervous about how I am dancing and if something feels right and I love that she takes things step by step. She gives you enough moves to be excited for the next, without overwhelming you. I have taken classes with other instructors and for me, no one competes. This place is incredible, the price is amazing in comparison to other dance studios and she really makes you feel like you are a part of her family.
