FAQ

Will my child be in a class with children of the same age?

Carolina Dance Company dancers are initially placed based on age and dance experience. CDC Instructors reserve the right to alter a dancer’s schedule based on experience, maturity and progress. Though we try to accomodate your age requests, we feel that having each child in the ability appropriate class is our paramount consideration. We always want your child to be in the level where he or she will have the best learning experience.
