History

Established in 2007.

Our Director (Terah Partridge) had been teaching ballet at various studios for years, and had to commute quite a distance to do so, since there were no ballet schools on the island. When her daughter turned four and decided she wanted to try a ballet class, Terah began searching for a class that would instruct her in classical ballet, with proper technique and an emphasis on artistry. However, Terah also wanted her to have fun and enjoy the experience. This situation prompted her to begin a Pre-Ballet class in February of 2007, with about six students. Well, things grew... and grew... and grew... so much that we built our own 2600 sq ft dance studio on the north end of Camano Island, only a 10 minute drive from downtown Stanwood. We currently have teach over 400 students, with more joining all the time. The support CDA has received from the Stanwood/Camano community has been amazing.
