    Our Focus is Proper Technique.

    Teaching smaller dance classes was necessary when Catherine’s Dance Studio first began, and it remains the driving reason why Catherine’s students are making their high school and college dance teams. The instructors see and guide every foot, every turn of the wrist, and even every gesture. Our smaller class sizes allow our students to learn, practice, and memorize proper techniques from the beginning. All instructors believe that proper technique is a foundation for better dancing.

    A student with proper technique will learn and grow more as a dancer, which translates into high self-confidence as a dancer and young woman.

    For Nothing is Impossible with God.

    • Catherine's is the place to be if you want your dancer to receive lots of personal attention and encouragement. My girls have loved to dance with Miss. Catherine. She keeps class size small and her kindness and caring for the girls shows each week. Give it a try, your dancer will love it!

      This is my daughters first year of dance and i couldn't have picked a better place for her to learn to dance. She tells me every Wednesday when she is done that she loves it and and looks forward to it. She also told me she wants to keep dancing as long as she can. I personal love the staff there classes are small and the teachers are great with the kids.

    • My daughter has been dancing at Catherine’s for 2 years now. She adores class, adores her teachers, especially Mrs Catherine! It is an amazing studio, well run, lots of great communication from Catherine and her staff about recitals, pictures, class, everything. We love the family environment, the age appropriate costumes and dances. I cannot imagine sending my daughter anywhere else.

      We couldn’t be more happy with our experience at Catherine’s Dance Studio. My daughter has only been dancing for a little over a year, but what a difference we have already seen in her confidence & skills! She loves going to dance and it’s been amazing to watch her excel. Catherine, Judy & all of the staff are so talented and caring - we know our daughter is always in good hands when we drop her off for class. We are so happy to be part of CDS!

      We absolutely love Catherine’s Dance Studio. My daughter has been dancing there since she was 2 1/2, she’s 11 now. Since she’s been a dancer there, she has grown so much. It’s wonderful to see the progression every year. Their studio offers talented, professional instructors who are truly passionate about dance and teaching. I believe they are building a strong foundation for all the dancers. I highly recommend Catherine’s to any future girl that loves dance!

      Catherine and the whole staff of the studio are THE most caring and amazing individuals! My daughter has been dancing here for 7 years and while there are a lot of studios in KC North, we will ALWAYS drive the distance from our home to Parkville to have my daughter at Catherine's! It's a family and we are very happy to be a huge part of it! I especially love that the staff makes a very distinct effort to be Christian and modest in the costuming choices, especially for the littles!

      We love CDS!!! Every week we drive 43 min each way and it is worth every minute! My daughter has been dancing at CDS for 4 years and we just can’t get enough. I love how that my dancer is learning true dance technique. If you ask my daughter what she wants to be when she grows up her answer would is “I want to be a dance teacher just like Mrs. Catherine!” That makes my heart warm. It also lets me know I have my daughter in the right studio where she is love and appreciate!!! Thank you Catherine and all the Instructer at CDS who do so much more than just teach our girls dance! We appreciate you all!!!
