One is a beginner lesson and the second lesson is for intermediate students. On Wednesdays there is a salsa lesson. Once a month there is a party where you get to try out the routines learned during the months. Dancers show up to the party that have been dancing at the studio for a long time. It is an environment where you see familiar faces. Highly recommend this studio for ballroom dancing and salsa.

Raising 4 kids and teaching about 600 as a public school music teacher I would rate this studio as…read more absolutely worst my kids have been exposed to: inconsiderate placement, unprofessional practices ( no rehearsal or proper preparation given) and utter ignorance of child emotional state. Its not fair to any child to go through what my son went during this year at this studio. Looking at him scared backstage and unable to move ( fear of new places- never had nor dress rehearsal nor run through/ mark up in there)!) in a costume ( black train suit) 3 times bigger his size - ordered by studio and charged. a fortune- absolutely broke my heart. The teachers didn't bother to try to call me or make him feel comfortable-leaving him backstage- " the show must go on " Lesson 1 that I learned: more research before commitment Lesson 2: Owners of the studio might lie( never happened to me before this one but alas)

This is a poorly run unprofessional dance studio. Don't waste your money at this studio.read more

My 5 year old daughter went here for ballet/tap combo class. She attended for a year and a half…read more The instructors are good, they teach well. But my daughter actually decided to quit in the middle of her second year because she got bored and wanted to try something else. She now wants to start again, but I will NOT be sending her back to CSDS. The recital is great. Very entertaining. But they're business practices need some work. First off all, the recital tickets are bought on a first come first serve basis. They appoint a time and everyone has to go to the studio at that time and only that time. I had to actually work on the day and time that they had specified, so I asked if I could drop off a check at an earlier time. The director said no, that it wouldn't be fair. So I had to send my mother to the studio for me at the alloted time at 2pm. I came to find out that there was a class in the morning on the same day and that the parents had already bought their tickets that morning and all the good seating was already gone. Is that fair? She says no to me but says yes to others! I don't care if it's only a couple of hours before the allotted time, it's still ahead of time! Secondly, I spent $30 on a dvd of the recital that skipped. I couldn't even watch my daughter's dance. I was told I could get a replacement. I never got it, after muliple emails and speaking to the instructor. Lastly, my daughter's costume was paid in full ($60) before she decided to quit last year. I was told I could pick up her costume when they came in. I called them multiple times to find out if the costume was in. I never spoke to any one. I left messages and got no return phone call. So in the end they took $90 (dvd and costume) and I have nothing to show for it. Not even a phone call. This studio has dance teams that compete, and if you're not on the dance team, they really don't care about you. Their customer service skills are the worst. We'll be going back to Chery's School of Dance in Melrose!
