“After trying four dance studios in the Baltimore area, we have finally landed at our perfect studio home. At Centre Pointe Performing Arts, my daughters are receiving the best dance instruction in an extremely professional environment. All of the teachers, including the owner herself, are educated in dance and have dance backgrounds. More importantly, these teachers love children and teaching, and that is clearly evidenced each week in class. CPPA’s recital was a seamless, stress-free production leaving me excited for many years and performances to come!”
“My daughter was new to dance last year and is part of mini-troupe this year. Seeing her growth through her amazing teachers has been incredible to watch! Nicolle is very patient with smaller children and they adore her. I’m excited to see how my daughter continues to grow with her fellow CPPA dancers!”
“Our daughter had her first recital at 2.5 years old this month and she had such a blast! Ms Nicolle I cannot rave enough about. She is so amazing with the little ones. Our daughter has had so much fun and gain so many new skills from classes here. We are excited for the next season!”
“Love the studio, have so for years! The instructors are highly skilled, knowledgeable staff and the dancers are more like family. Pleasant and welcoming environment!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a future in dance near or far!”
“If you want to send your child to a dance studio that pushes them to become the best person they can be then this is your place! The teachers truly care about your child and not just as a dancer. Every teacher pushes them to really find themselves and become the best person they can be inside and out. The teacher talent is top notch!…”
