I went here to shape up for the rest of the professional season since I missed most of it due to personal issues.Anyways, the level is so advanced at this studio that I was ready and back on point (no pun intended) within 2 weeks. For parents, this is a great place to send your children as Courtney and her staff are professional, courteous, and overall fantastic at prepping for a dance company.

All three of my girls are attending this studio for multiple genres. Courtney knows my family well; she employs great teachers and staff; and classes are dependable, predictable, safe, and FUN! We will be here for years to come.

Thank you, Elizabeth! I am delighted to have all of your family at the studio and to watch them blossom. I look forward to the day when I will be able to work with Millie as she progresses.

Anthonys Adult Hip Hop Class was excellent. He broke down the steps into simple moves and gave us time to work through them slowly together. Then he offered options to speed them up or add complexity, which was so much fun! Highly recommend.

If you are interested in classical ballet, there is no better school in Cleveland. Emphasis is placed on technique and truly learning the art of ballet not just on costumes and performances. The jazz and modern classes complement ballet well.

We have loved Cleveland City Dance. The teachers are so warm and welcoming. I have seen my child's confidence grown and as well as her ability. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Rebecca, we love having Eliana dancing in class. And look forward to seeing little sister join the ranks. It is so nice to see her come in and watch older dancers and have a big smile

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is through a monthly tuition fee for the academic school year September-May.
We offer two summer sessions which have short commitments. There is a 3-week June session and a 5-week July/August session. Summer also does offer camp options for ages 3 to and up during the day as well as individual classes.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We want to get to know you so we can find the perfect fit for you and your family. Give us a call so we can find out the style of dance your are seeking as well as a schedule that works for you too.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a professional dancer also trained as a teacher. I keep up to date with many dance and business journals, seminars and workshops when able.
My staff are all professionals, no children teach the classes. For the lower level children, the staff have child education backgrounds and several are still teaching in preschools
