Testimonials

At Cynthia’s School of Dance & Music, we believe dance is more than movement — it’s a place where confidence blossoms, lifelong friendships are made, and every student is inspired to shine. Since 1988, dancers from age 2 through adulthood have grown in skill, creativity, and self-assurance in our welcoming, non-competitive environment.

What Our Dancers & Families Have to Say:

Why Choose Cynthia’s School of Dance & Music?
