About the provider

Castle Rock Dance Academy was founded in 2005. Maria Scheffel is listed as Owner/Director. The studio says students learn etiquette and self-discipline in a positive, non-competitive environment, and it focuses on a long-lasting love for dance, self-esteem, and leadership opportunities. It also partners with local retirement communities, Douglas County Libraries, and the Town of Castle Rock for performance experiences, and it presents four performances each year: Making Spirits Bright, The Nutcracker of Castle Rock, Spring Showcase, and the June recital.

Accepted payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, checks, cash, and automatic withdrawal. Complimentary trial class is offered. Students are welcome recreationally or for a career in dance. The studio welcomes students of all ages and ability levels.

What families say

“My daughter has been going to CRDA for two years and she's just 5 years old. The teachers there are very sweet and patient. Her teacher Maria is amazing and my daughter is excited about every class. Their schedules are well organized and we can easily find a time slot that works for our family schedule. Highly recommend it if you want to get your kids exposed to dance.” — Sean

“It’s a wonderful dance studio. My daughters love going to class and love their instructors. Best experience we’ve ever had with a studio hands down. The instructors are kind and patient with the kids yet know how to keep the classes in order so the kids are learning. The studio is clean and very well kept. It’s a great place to be a part of. Our family highly recommends this dance studio!” — Jen
