What We're About
With a variety of dance classes for beginners through advanced, ages 3 years through adult, girls and boys, in gymnastics, jazz, lyrical, tap, and ballet, there is something for everyone at CDMS. Located at 5 Collins Ave, in Penn Yan, on the corner of Chestnut and Collins.
Classes run September through early June, with a big recital on the second Sunday of June, to showcase the skills the students have learned throughout the year.
Sign-ups for lessons are at the studio at the end of August, and classes are an average of $50/month, for one-hour, weekly lessons. Varying times and prices apply to solo routines and first-year, three-year-old students.
Summer classes are available for gymnastics skills, during July and August. You must be registered to attend.
