Why We Recommend Them

“CDA Dance Academy is the kind of studio where kids grow in confidence as much as in technique. Owner-led, welcoming and serious about good teaching, it is our dance studio pick in Aurora.”

Good NeighboursGood Neighbours Aurora

Plenty of studios teach steps. CDA Dance Academy puts just as much into the child doing them.

The studio is led by Owner and Artistic Director Ms. Chantal and has been teaching dance for more than 27 years. Its mission is to inspire confidence, build character and develop a lifelong love of dance, and the studio backs that with small class sizes and a zero-tolerance policy on bullying, discrimination and disrespect.

There is a place for every kind of dancer here: a two-year-old in a first preschool class, a recreational dancer trying tap or hip hop, a competitive dancer training across every style, or an adult coming back to class. Families can try any class free before they commit, which tells you how confident the studio is in what happens inside the room.

Parents who review CDA talk about the same things again and again: patient teachers, a well-run recital day, and kids whose confidence carries over into everyday life.
