I truly appreciate the focus on positive encouragement regardless of age or skill level. Furthermore, the fact that the older dancers are such wonderful role models is a rare and fabulous added benefit to the dance classes. –Erin Methven, Newberg We’ve been dancing at CVDA since 2003 and I’ve always enjoyed the all-inclusive atmosphere for my daughters. No matter what class they take or who is with them in their classes, the warm “we are family” feeling makes their whole experience worthwhile and, most of all, fun. –Bridget Backus McBride, Newberg I love the way the older dancers take care of, or just make an effort to pay attention to the younger ones. What a wonderful feeling for my five year old to walk in and be greeted by name by the older girls she admires so much. It’s truly a family feeling. I also love how there are dancers here of all shapes and sizes, so there is no pressure to fit a specific mold. –BJ, McMinnville Katherine and Charissa have learned so much this year. It is amazing to see their growth as dancers. They are developing into beautiful young ladies with the help of all the staff at CVDA. They have learned to be disciplined, part of a team, to stretch their abilities and comfort zones, and to be positive. –Marliene Fuller, Newberg I appreciate the overwhelmingly positive atmosphere! The dancers (and even parents) receive strong support from the staff. The girls in performing company are taught to be role models, good civic participants, to develop time management skills, and to be part of a team! –Shelley and Todd Thomas, Newberg My favorite thing about CVDA is the professionalism of the teachers. It shows throughout every aspect of the entire dance academy. –Lisa Benitez, Sherwood Bella loves dancing with friends. The teachers are very nice and helpful. She looks forward to dance class and is always excited to come. –Kelly Van Horn, Yamhill My favorite thing about CVDA is the great teachers and variety of classes! –Vickie Hodgins, McMinnville CVDA is the friendliest dance studio I have ever been to. The teachers and dancers are positive and the atmosphere is wonderful! –Piper Criscola, Sherwood I love putting my daughter in such an encouraging environment where she learns far more than excellent dance skills. I have watched her develop discipline, a desire to excel, and the best part is my usually shy little girl is now confident and outgoing in many environments, not just at dance. –Beth Woolsey, Newberg
