About

Children's Dance Theater offers classes and activities in dance, theater, art, and preschool. The program includes Ballet Productions such as the Nutcracker and Spring Ballet, as well as Thrive Competition Team and Spotlight Theater Productions. It holds an annual June dance performance and a variety of performances and art exhibitions throughout the year.

Children’s Dance Theater was founded in 2007 and has grown to include four pillar programs: Dance, Theater, Art, and Preschool. The program offers specialty classes meant to introduce each art form, develop skill, and provide inspiration. Instructors have over 20 years of experience.

Children’s Dance Theater states that it was founded with goals to provide age-appropriate music and choreography, challenge students to achieve their personal best, and be inclusive of students from all walks of life, including neurodivergent students. The program offers a free first trial class. It holds Ballet Productions each year, where dancers from both Children’s Dance Theater and the community are invited to audition free of charge for the Nutcracker each December and the Spring Ballet, and it does not cast roles based on appearance or resemblance to a well-known character, but instead based on skill and performance.

The program describes a commitment to family-friendly classes and performances and states that it works with families to ensure that students who are neurodivergent or have different physical abilities have a place in the programs. Its dress code policy is updated to include female, male, and non-binary students, and it is transitioning to flesh-toned tights and ballet shoes instead of pink tights. Children’s Dance Theater states that it teaches love, acceptance, accountability, work-ethic, self discipline, being a teammate, tolerance, and responsibility through the program.

Children’s Dance Theater works to provide chances for students’ work to be seen by an audience through a variety of shows and community events that children can sign up to be part of. The program states that it complies with all federal rules and regulations and does not illegally discriminate on the basis of age; gender; race; color; creed; religion; national origin (including language); sex; sexual orientation including gender expression or identity; honorably discharged veteran or military status; or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability.

One parent testimonial states, “We love Children’s Dance Theater! All of the teachers and staff are wonderful to work with and they are all so patient and attentive to the kids. We love all of the different programs and classes offered. My daughter has taken classes here for a few years now and continues to grow in her skills.” - Michelle L.
