Little Leaps 5-Week Program (2 year-olds through 5 year-olds)

The Little Leaps Program at CDA is for our youngest dancers.  Beginning with 2-year-old Mini Movement classes and progressing through Mini Dance (3-year olds), Pre-Dance (4-year-olds) and Kinder Dance (5-year-olds), the summer program offers the fundamentals of movement along with beginning basic Ballet, Jazz and Tap technique.  Classes in this program are available during the 5 week session and range in length from 30 to 60 minutes.

Kicks 5-Week Program (1^st Grade through Adult)

The Kicks Program at CDA is for dancers that have taken classes previously but are not wanting to train as vigorously as those in the more advanced programs.  These students range from 1^st/2^nd graders wanting to take one or two art forms to Adults dancing for exercise and fun.  For these students, CDA has a wide range of 5-week classes beginning the week immediately after the July 4^th holiday.  Each class meets once a week for between 30 and 60 minutes.  Art forms available this summer will include Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Tap.

Company, Preparatory and Pre-Preparatory Dancers

All dancers currently enrolled in the CDA Company, Preparatory or Pre-Preparatory Programs should plan to enroll in the CDA 8-week Summer Program.  This program is designed as a continuation of your current training through the summer months so that you may maintain your placement for the 2008-9 season.  Classes are designed during this 8-week program specifically for these serious dancers.

Dancers that are not currently enrolled in one of these programs but would like to be next season should meet with the Artistic Director in the Spring of 2008 to determine the best summer class load for their goals.  Dancers that are considering transferring into Columbus DanceArts and that have been training seriously at their current studio should call CDA for an appointment to discuss proper placement.

Those students who maintain their Company, Preparatory or Pre-Preparatory status over the summer will also be invited to participate in performances and workshops during the summer months.

ForceOne Dance Team

ForceOne is CDA’s award winning dance team.  Dancers wishing to be members of the Junior or Senior ForceOne Dance Team will be required to attend dance team classes throughout the summer.  For details on eligibility requirements, costs and schedules for dance team, please contact the CDA office or Coach Rachel Smith.
