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.

April 15, 2024We 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!!!

August 15, 2020Catherine's Dance Studio is wonderful. My daughter has been going there for 3 years and I can definitely see improvement in her technique and confidence. The teachers are excellent with the little ones and help them to come out of their shell! I've been very impressed with my daughters growth and can't wait to see what's next. The recitals are entertaining and showcase so much talent! And the entire studio has a family feel!

My daughter has danced at Catherine's for the past 6 years. It has always been such a positive and encouraging environment. My daughter has grown so much while there, her love of dance is undeniable. She has gained great friendships, and confidence. The instructors at the studio are the kids biggest cheerleaders! Catherine has a true gift with children. I am thankful that we found the studio all those years ago

January 15, 2024This 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.

August 15, 2023Catherine'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!

August 15, 2020We 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!
