The studio and staff are awesome. We had assessment with Mike for hip-hop pre- competitive program. He is very friendly and accomodating. He offered us several free classes to try before making decision. The studio in Kanata is meticulously clean and very professional. It has this feel that makes you want to dance and become part of the team.

We were so impressed by CCD this year. We came to the studio as a mature dance family who had a terrible experience with a dance studio in Stittsville. Our confidence in dance in the west end was shaken. We also knew changing studios when you are a teenager can be tough.
CCD welcomed us, took the time to learn about us and recognized we were unsteady. From a curriculum perspective we did ballet and tap and were very impressed with Delrina and Gabe. New skills were learned, exams were taken and passed. The Kanata location has closed circuit TV which was a revelation for a nervous mother worried

I do not recommend this school for anyone looking for dancing classes for kids. We had the worst experience we could ever have by registering our daughter in this school. They are only interested in money. Classes always started delayed, we couldnt see what our daughter was learning because the classes happened with doors closed. The teachers, most of them teenagers, doesnt seem to care about the kids learning experience They assumed that your kid will participate of their recitals and they order stuff without even ask you are interested in participating of the event. We had people from school

Oh god, this place is perfect! My daughter loves it, and she wants to take even more classes here. I'd recommend this place to anyone who's thinking of trying to start dancing.
