The program offers classes for ages 3 and up and is a performance-based studio with multiple opportunities for students to perform in various settings, including four performances in a traditional stage setting each year: Making Spirits Bright, The Nutcracker of Castle Rock, Spring Showcase, and a June recital.

• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Schedule: Class options Monday–Thursday afternoons and early evenings, and Saturday mornings
Castle Rock Dance Academy was founded in 2005 and is led by Owner/Director Maria Scheffel. Instruction is provided by qualified, well-qualified, caring instructors. The studio states that proper technique, excellence, and integrity are held to high standards, and that etiquette and self-discipline are taught. The mission also states a focus on building a long-lasting love for dance, building up each individual’s self-esteem, offering opportunities for leadership as dancers move through the program, and learning in a positive environment.
The program describes itself as offering high quality dance instruction for all ages and abilities in a positive, non-competitive environment. The facility includes sprung floors to help prevent injury to dancers, a welcoming lobby, and large viewing windows. Castle Rock Dance Academy partners with local retirement communities, Douglas County Libraries, the Town of Castle Rock, and other local groups to provide performance experiences.
Parent and student testimonials describe teachers as sweet, patient, kind, and organized, and mention that schedules are well organized and that the studio is clean and well kept. One parent notes that a 5-year-old child has attended for two years and is excited about every class, and another parent states that their family highly recommends the studio. A long-time student reports having danced there since age three, feeling that they have grown because of the teachers, and describes Castle Rock Dance Academy as like a second family.
