Powered by GoogleBoth of my daughters have taken lessons here and have loved it. They are the perfect balance between a ultra serious ballet school and a low-key “only for fun” dance school. The classes are fun and organized but not too strict. We love Miss Heather as a teacher. We also like the nice viewing area for parents. This school is perfectly balanced for our tiny dancers. We also love their productions that are only 1 hour long.
Great instructors. Small class sizes. They genuinely care about their students. My daughter has had a great experience (she is 7 yrs. old) and has been taking class since she was 3 yrs. old.
CARE has made a huge difderence in our daughters life. This is our second year and couldn't be happier. The instructors have done an amazing job with our daughter and the program really cares about the progress of their dancers. Our daughter has unique learning abilities and we are extremely comfortable with CARE. I really like how open Ms. Judy and Ms. Heather (and all the instructors) are to questions, and how they made us feel like a part of their family since day one. We also love the auditions, being a part of the production, summer programs and camp. Definetely a great experience!! ❤
CARE is a positive dancing environment that encourages responsibility for and mentorship of the younger dancers. It's a non-profit that not only provides excellent instruction and opportunities for performance, but also engages with the children from inner city schools to provide them with free experiences with the arts.
My daughter began dancing at age three and continued to study at the conservatory and perform with the CARE Ballet throughout High School. Lots of fun performing and quality theatrical experience. SO MUCH MORE than a recital at the end of the year. We ll worth the time and effort.
