Contemporary School of Dance promotes the education of the performing art of dance. The school offers excellent technical training in classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, and tap styles, as well as body conditioning and pilates programs to complement the dancers' training. Our philsophy is to encourage each child's natural love of movement while providing essential dance education and proper, safe technique training. Each of the teachers is dedicated to facilitating individual artistic development by providing a nurturing environment, which inspires each dancer to their best effort and greatest accomplishments.

When you enroll your child at Contemporary School of Dance, she/he will develop a strong sense of self-discipline, self-motivation, dance appreciation, a determination to meet new challenges, and valuable skills and attitudes, which become a vital part of their daily lives. Dancing is fun and provides social interaction with peers who have the same interest. CSD offers a unique, friendly dance school environment where every student is valued and appreciated.

Students 12 years and over are invited to participate as assistants in our younger students’ classes, which provides them with invaluable volunteer experience and helps to inspire our younger students.
