The instructors all care so much about the kids and in teaching them dance and instilling a love for it. They have an amazing dance team and also provide recreational classes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear to me how much they they are willing to go above the beyond. They provided the kids with online zoom dance classes, challenges, spirit days, socially distant one on one dance pictures in the park, and even planned a virtual recital! This time has been so tough on kids and I really value all they have done to provide some normalcy for the kids. Normally parents are not in the room during class (there are monthly watch weeks on the studios TVs), but with classes over zoom I have gotten to watch more of the class and can also speak to what a good job they do with the insurrection and keeping the kids engaged while having fun. Highly recommend!

Both my daughters attended Chiampa Dance Center from elementary school to high school graduation. I…read morehave watched many awkard young girls transform into poised young ladies for this dance school becomes more than just an after-school activity. From learning dance routines to doing solos in preparation for the recital (held at a beautiful venue), trips to NYC or Disneyworld to compete or perform all helps to build the grace and confidence you want your daughters to have. I have watched many parents leave due to petty inconveniences, but they usually return and say, "This is the best..." If you do your homework, you will learn that all teachers are college graduates and are certified by test to teach. I have been at competitions where the school has been recognized for their instruction and programs. The recital is at Collins Center for it is the largest and best venue to stage the Broadway- like production that is put on every year for the recital. Also, it is air conditioned and in late May, that is a plus! Every year during the summer, students who show promise are invited to attend Dance Education Training School. Chiampa Dance Center is a nationally recognized school. Lillian Chiampa opened the school over 70 years ago and it has a reputation that precedes itself. Her daughters have continued her ideals in instructing young girls to reach their potential. As an educator, I looked for these kind of qualities when it came to placing my daughters in a good school. I was more than satisfied... Chiampa Dance Center is a class act...

I called her and she asked for more services, more gear, etc. and I told her NO PROBLEM but the quote will have to be adjusted. That's when she pulled out the NON PROFIT card and said I should be doing everything we agreed on PLUS extra services for the same amount, if not less, because they're a non profit. She used the kids she teaches as an excuse to pay a contractor less. Disgusting. Stay away. The owner then went out of her way to leave me a negative review, which impacts my business and me making a living. We never worked together but she felt it necessary to leave a negative, dishonest review as if we worked together. Shameful behavior. I can't imagine what disgusting practices she implements when running her business and working with kids.

I wish I could give this place more stars…read more My daughter started dance at the Y when she was in preschool. By 2nd grade she needed a different studio for several reasons. Checked out a few in town but I liked the non competitive atmosphere here. Jane (the owner) is the most personable manager you'd ever want to meet. The motto is that everyone is a star (and at the end of the year everyone gets a medal). Some kids do get trophies but not for competition reasons. They have programs for all level kids and everyone regardless of age, ambition, ability or socioeconomic level is treated equally. My daughter has been in intensive ballet for four years now and is in her second year of toe. She's given the drive and push she needs to succeed without creating an environment similar to certain reality show nightmares. She's worked her way onto performance team. It's something she's wanted since 2nd grade and she's happiest when she's there. She's just finished her second year on team. She is happiest when she's with her PT gang. If you want your child to enjoy himself/herself I suggest you go there. Everyone is equal and Jane and her daughter Meghan are available almost 24/7 via phone, email, txt, FB chat -- the only thing I haven't personally tried is FaceTime but I suspect if I needed to they'd make it happen (everyone deserves some down time). These ladies truly care about the whole student. What matters is that the focus isn't solely on how they dance. Taking the personal feelings of each student into account is part of the corner stone of what they hold near & dear to their teaching philosophy. If you need to hear more, feel free to reach out to me. I can't sing their praises enough. Every year I ask my daughter if she wants to go competition, and before I can finish the sentence I get an emphatic NO. If that doesn't say it all I don't know what else would.

Ms. Katelyn McMahon, the director of the ballet program, is very knowledgable and trustworthy. She is hard on her students but truly wants the best for them, and pushes them to succeed. Not only is she an outstanding ballet teacher she is also incredibly knowledgable about dance related injuries and physical therapy. I can not stress enough how much of an amazing person and teacher she is. She truly goes above and beyond. Jane, the owner, and her daughter Meghan, an assistant director, know each student individually and always makes sure all students feel welcome. I would feel comfortable talking to them about dance and non-dance related issues. Overall, after attending another dance school for a few years where I felt unwanted, I feel truly blessed to have come across CPA, when I was looking for a new dance school. The ballet intensive program is truly an intensive, complete with levels, auditions, end of year evaulations and teacher/parent conferences. I would highly recommend CPA to anyone, no matter what level or age. Truly an amazing, welcoming enviorment with highly qualified teachers and outstanding dance training.

Raising 4 kids and teaching about 600 as a public school music teacher I would rate this studio as…read more absolutely worst my kids have been exposed to: inconsiderate placement, unprofessional practices ( no rehearsal or proper preparation given) and utter ignorance of child emotional state. Its not fair to any child to go through what my son went during this year at this studio. Looking at him scared backstage and unable to move ( fear of new places- never had nor dress rehearsal nor run through/ mark up in there)!) in a costume ( black train suit) 3 times bigger his size - ordered by studio and charged. a fortune- absolutely broke my heart. The teachers didn't bother to try to call me or make him feel comfortable-leaving him backstage- " the show must go on " Lesson 1 that I learned: more research before commitment Lesson 2: Owners of the studio might lie( never happened to me before this one but alas)
