It's the best way to get some calories burned while jamming out to some great music. As long as your moving you're doing it right is the motto they profess so don't be scared to cut loose and groove. Be aware that they don't take any breaks but if you need to stop feel free. Classes are held in the school cafeteria. It's very easy to find. The dance moves are very easy to catch onto. I danced with Erica and some of the other ladies of the Jam CLT when they were with another company and it felt like home to be with these ladies again. They do some of the same dance moves from before and they have some new choreography to new songs. The musical selection ranges from Hip Hop to R and B to Pop to Country to Broadway all in one class. You are guaranteed to leave with a new favorite dance move or song!!! Thank you Erica Butler and the amazing women of The Jam CLT for keeping exercise fun in the Queen City!!!! I am so glad they formed this company and will continue the phenomenal work they do.

What a gem of a studio! Jackie's adult ballet class is amazing. We recently relocated to Charlotte…read morefrom NYC and I'm so happy this studio exists. As a former professional dancer, I can attest to the quality of instruction. Jackie's class is thoughtful, inclusive, and JOYFUL.

So my niece takes a combo dance class of ballet and tap for age 4/5 yr olds at Carolina Dance…read moreAcademy. The studio is the closest to our home. I haven't been able to attend a class with her but she hasn't been wanting to go and since I was able to make a recent visit I can totally see why. My niece loves to dance and she has rhythm. This class is her appropriate age group but she catches on quickly and the things they do in this class are not benefiting her. The dance room is ice cold. My nieces hands were freezing when the class was over. The instructor was in a sweatshirt and these small kids were in leotards and tights freezing. The instructor is young and very apathetic. The kids don't have good behavior and it's a big distraction. Her reward system is a sticker and she harps on earning a sticker. She spends most of the time on behavior and not instructing the students. After that visit I unenrolled my niece in the class. One due to my niece not being challenged and two because it's too far for my mother to take her in the evening. I know it's not far from our home but mother doesn't drive in the dark and the academy is off South Tryon which gets very busy at the time of the class and she can't see. You have to give them a written letter to unenrolled. I would not recommend this class if your child is advance, loves to dance or picks up steps quickly. This class is a waste of time.

My gut reaction is to offer 1 star, but my daughter has learned and improved somewhat over the year…read moreshe has been enrolled. That's the only real good part of CDA, and some of the learning I attribute to my daughter actually practicing after class, so that may also be inflated. The studio owner seems nonchalant about everything (to a fault), just wants the tuition money, and is absent nearly all the time. Even at big competitions like Inspire and DMI when the announcers call for Studio Owners to come up on stage and accept their "award" she's not even present! The owner's daughter accepted this year's awards. Lame. On more than one occasion the office manager/instructor Chelsea text messages the dancers (not the parents driving the dancers) class will be cut short by 30-45 minutes with no real reason. Occasionally and more inconveniently this occurs mid-class with little time for parents to react and shift gears. Instructors in general can't seem to regulate the student behaviors, and many evenings I hear how the "inmates were running the asylum". And while teenage girls are generally drama filled, instructors must be able to connect the girls so their friendships and bonds are evident when they are on the stage. Simply ignoring the drama and letting infighting occur, and it shows onstage at performances to the dancers detriment. Pricing is pretty straight forward at this studio, with a flat rate fee each of the 12 months in a calendar year(even though there are not really any "consistent learning classes" and are only held every other week in June or July). This is supposed to cover "everything"; Instruction, costumes, entry fees, and makeup kits. However there have been multiple occasions, some last minute, where parents have to buy $60 shoes, or a dress for a recital, or leggings or whatever. While some people may again be okay with it, if you say everything is included it should be included. Otherwise drop a disclaimer; doesn't include shoes, makeup, etc. Nobody likes having to buy things last minute. Solos, duets, etc are $500 additional should you be interested in having your child accept one. Lastly, dance competitions should be fun and a time to celebrate accomplishments and the time on "the big stage". Do you think CDA has any sort of "after competition" dinner banquets, ice cream parties, bowling events etc. post competition events where all the dancers are in one place celebrating? NOPE. Nothing. Nada. Again, the owner is only interested in getting your money and putting in as little effort as possible. In my opinion, if your dancer truly wants to learn and grow as a person and as a dancer, CDA may not be the right place for your dancer. There are some good things here at CDA, but the good doesn't outweigh all of the negatives for us, and the primary reason we left CDA

I have to say Annie is wonderful. I've learned things far quicker than I thought that I was capable of with her instruction - she is approachable, funny, has countless years of experience in choreography and multiple types of dance, and she makes you feel so comfortable. She's the real deal. I've done pole, chair, lap dance and look forward to trying burlesque as well. Her classes are such a great way to increase strength, dance and feel like the badass you are.
