We are committed to nurturing a love for music and dance in new generations of students. We are a diverse, family-friendly environment aimed at helping young students discover life’s lessons through the beautiful journey of dance and music.
Our programs offer a wide range of recreational and competitive dance classes in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary dance, Hip-Hop, Tap and Acrodance. In addition, we also offer private music lessons focusing on voice, piano, guitar and violin.
The story of CDM Dance & Music stretches back over 30 years, and is sprinkled with incredible accomplishments and a lifetime’s worth of memories. We have watched multiple generations of dancers perfect their training, while inspiring the next generation to do the same. We feel blessed to have embarked on this journey, and watched as so many students shared in our love of dance and music.
