My daughter always wanted to get serious about ballet and this school is a perfect fit. Her last school would learn one 3 minute routine for the whole year. In this school, they learn technique, posture, poise, even history in addition to a routine, plus there's extra curricular training for the Nutcracker each Christmas. It has challenged her to achieve a higher level, and she loves it.

We strive to provide the highest level of training while keeping classes fast-paced and enjoyable. All of the teachers are highly educated in their respective dance disciplines, with most holding diplomas and/or certification from a dance teaching organization, such as the Royal Academy of Dance, the Association of International Dance Teachers and the Canadian Dance Teachers Association. We strive to help each dancer become the best he/she can be as a dancer and as a person. We believe that everyone should be treated equally regardless of age or ability. Making a difference in each dancer's life is very important to us! Our goal is to make Dance an enjoyable experience while focusing on a high level of technique. The children come first at Tri-City, and we work very hard to make sure each child's individual needs are met through support, encouragement, and inspiration. Our aim is to not only train dancers, but create better people who have confidence, poise, and a love of the Arts.

My daughter has been dancing at this studio for several years now, and as she approaches her 9th…read morebirthday, her love for dance continues to grow. From the very beginning, everyone has been welcoming, supportive, and incredibly helpful. Mrs. Debbie, the owner, recently took time out of her busy schedule right before classes started to help my daughter get fitted for new ballet shoes. That level of personal attention and care says so much about the studio and the people who run it. My daughter loves her classes so much that she actually begged me to enroll her in an additional class! She looks forward to dance every week and has loved all of her teachers. Special shoutout to Miss Olivia, who has been wonderful and has helped make dance such a positive experience for her. We just finished another recital season, and every year I am blown away by the enthusiasm, dedication, and passion of the instructors. Watching the recital, it's easy to see how much work goes into preparing the dancers while still making the experience fun and encouraging. And honestly, anyone who has ever tried to teach a group of 4- and 5-year-olds anything can appreciate how impressive it is to see those young dancers smiling, having fun, and confidently performing on stage! What I appreciate most is that this studio has grown with my daughter. From her early classes as a little one to the dancer she is becoming today, she has always felt encouraged, supported, and excited to come back each week. We are so grateful to be part of this dance family and highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a positive, nurturing environment for their child.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Fidalgo DanceWorks…read more My daughter participated in a summer class because she was excited to try dance and wanted to enroll for the fall. Unfortunately, she left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Despite attending multiple classes, the instructor frequently forgot her name, which made her feel overlooked and like she didn't belong. There was no effort to build relationships in the class. I get summer classes are different but it should have mimicked fall classes to get students excited. After realizing dance wasn't the right fit for her, I contacted the studio nearly a month before fall classes were scheduled to begin to request a refund. The request was denied, even though classes had not started and the studio maintains a waitlist that will allow another student to take her place. That lack of flexibility and compassion was incredibly disappointing. As a parent, I hoped for an environment where every child would feel seen, encouraged, and valued. Instead, my daughter came away feeling discouraged, and our interactions with the studio left us feeling that customer service and the overall experience were not a priority. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Fidalgo DanceWorks. I hope they will consider treating families with more understanding and making every child feel genuinely welcomed.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for an established studio that provides high-quality dance education to join. I became a student at CSD when I was a teenager and the previous studio I danced at closed down. Cori and her teachers were phenomenal at integrating my sister and I into the school (to the point where CSD became our second home). I improved as a dancer because of CSD's intelligent programming and caring faculty. The opportunities I had at CSD created beautiful memories for my family and I to look back on, I also made life-long friendships with my dance peers who I share many of those memories with.

The Director and her staff are committed to developing and nurturing their students in dance and life. While many studios focus only on learning a dance, students here truly learn to dance, not just do a few steps that they have had drilled in to them all year long. Technique is balanced with fun, discipline balanced with creativity, all contributing to a positive and enriching expereince. This studio is all about fostering an appreciation for and love of the performing arts. While not all students may not go on to a dance career ( though many alumni of this studio have gone on to dance professionally) they will always carry with them the skills they attained from training at this studio. Cori Caulfield is a world-class performer and a truly gifted teacher. She is an inspiration to her students, and a much-sought after instructor and choreographer nationally. She has created a wonderful environment and expereince for her students that will resonate with them for the rest of their lives. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caulfield School of Dance to any family wishing to introduce their child to the world of dance.
