Cynthia King Dance Studio (East 5th)

Our child has been enrolled in the afterschool program at this dance studio and although there’s a level of rigor that takes some getting used to, we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. Cynthia and her dancers are highly trained and disciplined professionals, the recitals and choreography are pure artistic genius!

My daughter has attended the Cynthia King dance school for 3 years. Each year she has enjoyed her classes and has grown as a dancer. Ms. King and her team are dedicated, flexible, and talented individuals who clearly care about their students and the learning of dance. The spring performances get better every year, as they showcase the learning that happens at this dance school. Thank you Ms. King, Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Autumn, and everyone else supports the Cynthia King Dance Studio!

My daughter has danced at CKDS for going on two years. Ms. King and her team are amazing. Passionate, skilled, organized, principled and most importantly....incredible dance teachers. More than just a studio, is an incredible community to be a part of.

Update to my review from 2 years ago: We STILL could not be happier with CKDS!! All the students take it seriously and it shows in everything they do. My daughter describes her dance friends as sisters. We love the community of kids and parents. Ms. King brings the community together with her professionalism, humor, and warmth. We love CKDS!!!!! This was our daughter's first year with Cynthia King's studio (she's 7 years old) and we could not be happier. Ms. King is amazing in every way but especially in the way she teaches and talks to the dancers! I feel so lucky that we found CKDS. If you are looking for a serious program with excellent teachers and a warm community, this is your place.

My daughter has attended CKDS for a few years and made it to their apprentice company this year. I love what they do with the dancers in the program! They develop them to be beautiful dancers, allow them to express themselves through the art of dance, and also teach them some key qualities in life (being supportive of your classmates, being on time, having discipline). Ms. King and her team are dedicated to the dancers and families in the program and are committed to their work. The community is very lucky to have such an amazing organization.
