Powered by GoogleCDC is a family who will build skills for your dancer while also pouring into them as a person! The talent at this studio is phenomenal; truly impressive!! Our oldest daughter danced at CDC from age 5 through age 12. Although dance was not her "thing" where she wanted to continue to pursue it, CDC allowed her to be there ONE night per week and take tap, jazz and ballet to allow her all the benefits of dance... taking dance builds self confidence, poise, character and so much more. Taking dance (in my opinion) has helped our oldest daughter feel more comfortable when having to speak in front of an audience, be able to take critical feedback without letting it break her down and build important posture! To the contrary, our youngest LOVES to dance!! She's danced there since she was 3 (now age 9) and likely will continue at CDC for life or until she moves! I'm so happy that CDC allows her to take classes with competition dancers and build skills at a competition level (as they do a GREAT job of placing dancers in classes based on skill vs just age!), but they are accepting that I am just not a competition mom. The option is there, but they've been supportive and not forceful for us to join team or anything like that! They support me in my desires to conserve our Wednesday nights for church activities and all of our Saturdays because honestly... maybe I'm a bit selfish and just need them to rest! I love the fact that they have some dancers at this studio who are all in to become professional dancers (and will based on the level of education and training provided by the studio) yet also cater to those of us who just want dance to be a hobby/art/skill developed and maintained on a once or twice per week basis! Love the teachers, dancers and everyone at this studio!
Charleston Dance Center is truly the best dance studio in the Charleston area! With three spacious dance rooms and televisions in the lobby for parents to watch, the studio provides a great experience for both dancers and their families. The instructors are among the best, bringing expert knowledge in all dance genres and technique. CDC offers exceptional training across a variety of classes for all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced dancers. When you dance here, you don’t just train—you become part of a supportive, welcoming family.
The best of the best! Charleston Dance Center is a Charleston gem! Celebrating its 25th year, this family-owned dance studio has created a wonderful environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels. The instructors here are more than just teachers; they are dedicated mentors who instill not only great technique but also a deep love for dance. The sense of family and community is incredible, with generations of dancers returning to bring their own children to train at CDC. It's a testament to the positive, supportive culture that the studio fosters. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, Charleston Dance Center is the perfect place to grow. Highly recommend!
I have been a part of the studio since its conception more than 20 years ago. I danced at Charleston Dance Center, taught at Charleston Dance Center and now my youngest daughter is in her 10th season. As a former dancer, I am confident in saying that CDC offers the most comprehensive training in all genres. Whether you have a toddler, a school age child or a trained older dancer, CDC offers something for every need. You won’t find a more passionate and dedicated group of instructors. Caroline W.
My daughter has been dancing at CDC for almost 10 years now. In this time the staff at CDC has become our family. CDC is truly her second home. The lessons she has learned have extended far beyond dance, lessons that will carry her for the rest of her life.
