Awards
We at CDA acknowledge that it takes a great amount of commitment to complete the dance year and confidence to get up on stage and show your routine in front of a crowd! Each and every student is a winner! At the annual recital every CDA student is acknowledged with a certificate on stage!
Keeper Trophies, as well as the student's name on the annual trophy at the studio are presented to only ONE student per discipline at the Junior (under age 10) and Senior (over age 10) level. CDA teachers nominate students in their classes based on; determination, flexibility, rhythm, grace, technique, attitude, commitment, improved from beginning of the year, potential, and overall achievement.
