FAQs

What is ballet?

Ballet is the foundation of all dance disciplines. Pre-ballet instruction is included in all Preschool and Combo classes. Ballet instruction is physically and mentally challenging and requires intense training on a weekly basis. Cathy's Creative Dance School follows Dance Masters of America Ballet syllabus and the Cecchetti method of ballet training and examination.

What are the qualifications of your staff?

Cathy's Creative Dance School has a staff of highly qualified and experienced dance educators. Our teachers have university dance degrees, state and national dance certifications, state education certifications, and/or have danced professionally in commercials, theater, stage and dance companies.

Does Cathy's Creative Dance provide dance scholarships?

Cathy's Creative Dance provides opportunities for students to participate in educational events that award many students dance scholarships to dance intensives, professional dance programs, and acceptance into dance programs with dance scholarship assistance to colleges and universities. Students who have been members of Show troupe during their four years of high school are awarded a $500 scholarship to the college or university of their choice. Each year one student is awarded a full year ballet scholarship to attend Cathy's Creative Dance School, and one student is awarded a scholarship to attend the summer intensive program at Cathy's Creative Dance.

Hello friends! Here's what Cloud Nine Aerial Arts is doing to help keep you safe during COVID-19 : Class size is limited to six in order to ensure proper distancing and eliminate the need to share apparatuses. Common areas and surfaces are sanitized frequently. All fabric apparatuses are quarantined 72 hours between uses. All students are asked to stay home if they feel unwell or are exposed to the illness; plan expiration dates and cancellation policies are adjusted in order to extend grace to those who need to suspend training due to the illness. No visitors are allowed in the studio during group classes but may remain for private and semi private lessons.
