"Far more is learned at Columbia Dance Academy than dance - although the level of dance expertise and professionalism is superb. Respect and confidence in oneself and others, responsibility, self-care, and self-discipline are just a few of the attributes witnessed in CDA students."
- Stephanie B.
"I can hardly put into words what CDA has done for my girls! I remember at my [daughter’s] first recital, another dance mom told me that, aside from the confidence the girls had dancing on the stage, the relationships they made would be invaluable. I can now attest this is 100% correct!"
Renita J.
"Looking at the younger classes, it is amazing to think about how that is where we all started, and through the
kind guidance of our teachers, we’ve turned into the dancers we are today."
Katie K.,
CDA alum and former Understudy
"I love dance because it makes me feel free and like I can do anything!"
Leiley,
age 9
