Top Ballet schools in Denver, United States

ONE STAR!!!!!! Terrible and extremely rude staff. I pulled up to park, pulled out my phone to pay and one of the workers from the dance studio came out to my car and starting taking photos! She said if you don’t pay I’ll give you a ticket. My phone was in my hand with the parking site up. Why come be so nasty for no reason? it was so baffling to me. very unprofessional, unnecessary and she made me extremely uncomfortable.

We had a hip hop dance party for my 7 year and his little buddies. It's hard enough getting 1 boy to listen, let alone 10! Stephanie did a fantastic job teaching the boys some choreography, keeping their attention and teaching them some hip hop/breakdance moves. I want to have my birthday party here:) Thanks Stephanie!

My daughter has learned so much at cherry creek dance, we have had some hiccups, but Stephanie helped us to work everything out and i really appreciate that. the older dancers have always been so amazing and supportive of my daughter at the recitals.

I think everybody in Denver knows that Cherry Creek Dance is great for kids and teens. It is also absolutely amazing for adults. All of my previously gained skills are coming back, we develop musicality in class, not only we learn and improve (yes, there is instruction and corrections!) technique, but also talk about different styles of ballet and modern. This is not a work out class, this is a true ballet/modern class, where you work with a ballet master and a choreographer to progress. There is surely a lot of improvements in my turn, leaps, and artistry. I gained a lot of confidence and strength through proper corrections. It is a true company class.

I have been going to cherry creek dance for 13 years! This studio is my second home, I have made the best relationships with both students and teachers! A lot of these others reviews talk about the way teachers treat the students but I can 100% as a STUDENT at the studio the teachers are incredibly kind hearted i could talk to everyone single one of them about anything. It is also a dance studio the teachers aren’t there to be your child’s best friend in the whole wide world and they aren’t always gonna compliment your child. If you are sending your kid to a dance studio you have to understand that no matter the age they will get criticism and that’s just apart of being a dancer. Being a dancer is a two person job, the dancer and the teacher you can’t expect the teacher to do everything. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself do you want your child to be at a loving caring and fun dance studio? Then bring them to cherry creek dance ! :)

My daughter has been going to CCD for many years now and I am always impressed wit how they handle themselves and put the dancers first. Last weekend I got to watch my daughter dance on stage again for the first time in 2 years. Cherry Creek Dance worked tirelessly to manage all the COVID hoops including meeting the requirements of where we were dancing. My daughter has grown as a dancer and person thanks to Cherry Creek Dance. I don't know what we would have done without them over the last 2 years, Cherry Creek Dance has been my daughter's safe haven as we have managed COVID. We have felt like family since day 1.

BEWARE of this horrible place for any little girl. Especially newcomers. My girl went there for a dance class on Saturday and the teacher was on her phone the WHOLE TIME. We watched her looking at her phone on camera and they’d been switching back and forth the toddler girls to an older girls class changing classrooms. The older girl was apparently one of the toddler girls sister. And my girl was CONFUSED. I can tell from the look on her face she did not know what was going on and she looked very frustrated. Those teachers were heartless. This is not a fun dance class this is real life torture. We even bought dance shoes from them right before the class and after the class, the owner questioned us and acted like if we had stolen their stinking shoes!! DO NOT even think about giving this place a try. Go somewhere else. Anywhere. My daughter had been to two other schools after this and we are sooo happy about making the change.

My daughter has been dancing at DcD for over 6 years now, and she loves it today, just as much as when she started when she was 4 years old. This is in large part due to Miss Jennifer. She is such a caring, dedicated teacher. Just as important as teaching the kids proper technique and form, she takes great pride in making sure that everyone is having a positive fun experience. Miss Jennifer has instilled a passion for ballet and dance in my daughter that will last a lifetime.

My daughter has been at DcD for several years. She has developed strong bonds and trusted friendships with many of the girls in her classes, which is so important given how much time they spend together at the studio. I believe the reason for this is because the owner and teachers at DcD expect dancers to be supportive and encouraging of one another. It’s a safe, fun, yet rigorous training environment that we feel has made a huge difference in our daughter’s life over the years.

Regarding the training, the greatest strengths of DcD is that they support the girls’ dance development at whatever level, from the lead company girls with difficult technical ballet choreography, to the wee ones just learning how to smile on stage. The performances are of high quality, always classy yet entertaining. If you are in the market, I highly recommend checking it out.

Both of my daughters have taken dance lessons at the Dance Conservatory of Denver (DCD) and had a wonderful experience. The younger classes are perfectly age appropriate with the right mix of fun and instruction. The older classes include reasonable corrections to help with form and execution. The studio culture is lovely - very supportive and encouraging, with a great parent community. We're so grateful to have found such a fantastic studio!

My daughter has been attending DCD since she was four, and she wouldn't want to dance anywhere else! The instruction is excellent, and the teachers are encouraging. The caring environment that DCD fosters has helped my daughter form valuable friendships. She will dearly miss this school and its dancers once she graduates.

My daughter loves DCD! After dancing at another studio, we moved here for the outstanding ballet instruction and friendly, non competitive environment. She spends a lot of time dancing and I couldn’t have asked for a better second home for her. Her teachers, Ms Jennifer and Ms Cori, are not only professional, but their genuine interest, warmth and support bring out the absolute best in every dancer. I can see the joy and growth in my daughter’s dancing/performances and above all she is happy and having fun!! Highly recommend!!

My twin girls have been going to DCD since 2015 for pre-ballet. They are now in 2nd grade and have also participated in 2 Nutcrackers and 1 spring performance. They LOVE it. Especially they enjoy the performing. I am a former dancer (15 yrs of training) so I was a little picky about where I wanted to send my daughters. The atmosphere at DCD is wonderful: uplifting, empowering, fun, and non competitive. My daughters can struggle with not listening or following along; their teacher will help redirect them but she never forces them. This style works with my girls, and they still remember choreography from last spring! It is amazing! The studio also has older dancers mentor/assist with younger (especially with performances) and they take this seriously and see it as a privilege. I have been so impressed with the older dancer’s attitude toward that. As a result it is just a great community to be a part of, teaching my daughters more than just dance. We love Miss Jennifer!

My daughter has been dancing with DCD for 6 years since she was 3. She absolutely loves the studio, teachers and her friends there. I would say that one of the features of DCD that makes it so special, is the interaction between older dancers and the younger ones through the Nutcracker and Triple Bill performances. As she has gradually progressed through the levels, dancers take on age appropriate additional responsibility and learn to become mentors. Additionally, they look forward to taking on new roles, understanding that everyone plays an important part in making the shows a success, and helping younger dancers to learn their choreography. It is a collaborative, supportive environment where developing positive self-esteem is a priority for the teachers. While my daughter is passionate about ballet, I know that she will take away so many important skills from DCD. We feel so fortunate to have our daughter be part of this community and company.

I have 3 dancers ranging from 5-16yrs old at DCD. At every level, from Pre-Ballet to Advanced, they have the most supportive and caring environment along with excellent instruction and high quality training. Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Cori are remarkable how they inspire dancers through their genuine love and passion for what they do. It says something when my girls look forward to going and then leave class smiling! The Nutcracker and Triple Bill performances showcase all their true enjoyment, hard work and dedication.

There is an amazing group of people who manage this studio - I would recommend anyone to work with these folks! Stephanie is such a go-getter and makes things happen not only for the studio but for the kids, as well. I'm so grateful to have had the chance to work with Stephanie and get involved with Cherry Creek Dance. Extremely impressed with their professionalism, ability to have fun, and commitment to the kids and the arts.
