Creative Dance Arts
Creative Dance Arts, originally named The Donna Smead School of Dance, was founded in 1976 by Donna Turner. Thanks to Donna's passion for dance and her giving spirit, her first teaching assistant, Patti Friedman was inspired to pursue a dance teaching career. After receiving an Education degree and returning to the area after college, she has been owner/director since 1999. Patti has continued to maintain the high standards for quality dance education that Donna had begun decades earlier.

Sentiment Analysis
It’s been over 10 years since I was a dancer here and I still feel part of the CDA family - it is truly the best and such a special place.
The owner, Patti & her staff are good at keeping parents informed with what is going on within the classes and as they prepare for their annual performance.
Family oriented, great structure and support for my girls in all directions with their goals and enjoyment of dancing.
Very cute mommy and me class!
The best part of walking into it as a parent is seeing so many familiar faces of happy returning clients year after year.
This dance studio and especially it's owner, do a tremendous job of building you up not only in dance but in life.
When my daughter was having issues outside of the dance studio, several of the teachers reached out to us to see how they could help.
From the wonderful staff who truly care about the children, to the friendships made throughout the "dance family".
In addition to the positive, dance-related environment, the studio promotes good citizenship through community service and charity activities - adopting families and visiting nursing homes to perform at the holidays, donating proceeds from the recital to charitable organizations and participating in charity fund raising walks and activities throughout the year.
My daughter pursued many other dance opportunities in the summer and during the year and her teachers were always impressed by how well prepared and trained she was.
