Today was our first class and we loved it! The teachers were super nice and patient! They have a monitor outside the class for parents to watch! What a great dance school 🙂~ Alicia G. CID Parent
As soon as I found out I was having a girl I knew I was counting down the days until she was old enough to start dance! I absolutely love this place and I love Ms. Shannon! She is so patient with my daughter and welcomes her with open arms. I can’t wait to see my daughter’s growth and progress at this studio. ~ Mazie A. CID Parent
We love CID. This is our second year at the studio. I just love the feel of it. My daughter has a place that is not school or home where she feels confident and is always learning something new. I highly recommend this family friendly studio!~ Stephanie B. CID Parent
