Our Focus is on 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 every gesture. Our smaller class sizes allow our students to learn, practice, and memorize proper techniques from the beginning. All instructors believe that correct 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.

I am a local designer/costumer maker and work very closely with Catherine and Judy, I see only smiles and hard work from their students when I am at the studio. I would recommend CDS over and over again.
