Powered by GoogleWilmington Conservatory of Fine Arts has offered me so much as both a dancer and a teacher. The director and other staff or extraordinarily kind and encouraging to all children, making it a perfect place for your child to learn dance. Classes focus not only on dance, but the development of strong, young, independent boys and girls. The studio also offers adult classes for those, like myself, who love to dance in whatever free time they have. Strongly recommend signing up for classes here, even if you or your child has never danced before, as this is an amazing place to start!
As a recent graduate of the Wilmington Conservatory of Fine Arts, I can say with complete confidence that it is the absolute best place in Wilmington for not only dance training, but a dance family. I have danced at the conservatory since I was 6 years old, and the friendships I have made are priceless. Cory Smith, WCFA’s founder and director, is like a second mom to me. While training me to be the best dancer I can be, Mrs. Cory has also mentally prepared me for the dance world and taught me so many valuable life lessons that I am eternally grateful for. I love my WCFA family so much, and I’m so grateful for the past 12 years I have spent at the Conservatory!
WCFA has been a great experience for our daughter and for us as her parents. Cory and her staff have been great instructors and mentors for our daughter. They push her and stretch her limits to become better each week and from semester to semester. They help develop talent and more importantly work with the dancers to develop good character. Character that is line with our Christian beliefs and world review.
We could not be happier with our experience at Wilmington Conservatory of Fine Arts over the last 3 years! We have loved the professional staff and appreciate how they have poured into our children excellence in instruction, while expressing genuine care and love for the students. For many of the kids, the studio has become like a 2nd home. It has been a safe haven where wonderful friendships have been formed and the teachers encourage the students, both in youth and adult classes, to aspire to better health and love of the arts in a wholesome atmosphere. We would highly recommend the studio! There are so many wonderful opportunities and the performances are top notch. We do not believe there is a better studio in our area!
Not only is this school exceptional in it's classical ballet training, Cory and her team make learning and dancing fun! Our whole family became invested in this school, as each instructor and Mrs. Jane, poured into each of us. My daughter loved being challenged in her skill and learning, growing and encouraged in her passion for/of dance. DAC is truly an exceptional place to invest in. I will forever be thankful for the foundation they helped build in my daughter. They also inspired my son (11 at the time to dance) and has been dancing ever since!
