    We love CDDS. My daughter has been going there for 9 years and we couldn't imagine her going anywhere else. They're the best!

    After spending several years at a large, competitive studio where we constantly faced issues --…read morelack of communication, cliques, and an environment that just didn't feel healthy -- we knew we needed a change. We weren't just looking for strong technique (although we found that too!) -- we were looking for a studio that felt like family. That's exactly what we found here. From day one, we felt the difference. The environment is warm, welcoming, and inclusive. Every teacher our daughter worked with made her feel valued, supported, and seen. The sense of community is real. It's not about being the flashiest or the most cutthroat -- it's about lifting each dancer up and helping them grow as people, not just performers. That's why it meant so much to see this studio receive the Studio of Excellence award at every regional competition we attended this year. To us, that award represents everything that matters: integrity, teamwork, and heart. It speaks volumes -- more than any individual trophy ever could. We're so thankful for everything this studio has given our daughter this past year. It was absolutely the right decision for our family, and we would recommend it to anyone looking not just for dance -- but for a place to belong.

    if I could give zero stars out of five, I would give a zero. Very unprofessional, family owned so…read morespeaking with the owner will do you no justice because she believes her daughter has her best interest and in all actuality she does not. Miss Alyssa talks about the dancers to their peers and gets them to create opinions on their teammates which then turn to bullying through out the season. There is so much bullying that goes on in this dance studio and there is no actual competitive talent taught. additionally, throughout the season the teachers change and then students are left with a different teacher to carry out the rest of the dance season and pick up somebody else's choreography. To make matters worse the filth in this studio is GROSS. My daughter would come home full of dust and black feet sometimes warts from dirty floors! No school whether it be a dance school or any school for that matter should favor one child over another, encourage bullying, be left filthy etc. I would not recommend. If you want your child to shine, seek other options!

    I'll admit it, I'm a serial quitter when it comes to working out... But I've been going to Rupa's…read moreclasses for six months now, and I'm hooked! Both her Zumba and Bengra classes are high-energy, non-judgmental, and mostly--a lot of fun. I always walk out of them feeling mentally and physically better than I came in! And afterward the foggy windows tell the tale of how much energy the class required... Others have talked about the Sunday Zumba class, but my favorite is the Bhangra class on Wednesday: step by step, Rupa builds up a little routine that you then dance to a few different songs. This gives you a pleasurable feeling of "mastering" something by the end of class (well, after a couple classes!), and a chance to explore these moves in different rhythms. Finally, I like that this style of dancing has a lot of arm moves, so you don't only work out your core and legs, but also your arms and shoulders...

    At the end of the school year, I was on a fitness kick when a friend invited me to attend an open…read morehouse at her Pilates studio to try out a new Bollywood Fusion Zumba class being offered. Flash forward and I am totally hooked! Sundays without Zumba just make my whole week feel "off." The instructor, Rupa, is enthusiastic, welcoming, and supportive. Her goal is to get you moving, sweating and having fun. The best part? The music and Rupa herself. The mix of Latin, Bollywood, and Banghra makes the class stand out from most Zumba classes I have been to, with awesome beats and moves that work your whole body head to toe. Rupa is amazing to watch, and when she's really into a new song that she LOVES, her energy is so contagious that you can't help but join in. While it's not the most hard core Zumba I've seen or heard about, I definitely recommend going at least twice. The first class, the moves might seem complicated or awkward, especially if you're used to traditional Latin dances. But that definitely disappears by the 2nd and 3rd class. Consider it a great healthy way to spend an hour on a Sunday afternoon!
