My sister and I have danced here since 2011. We have learned a lot from Nicole, Lindsey and the rest of the CFDC Staff. They all teach great technique, life lessons, teamwork skills and their winning track record is a testament to that fact. They are very mindful of development of these dancers in other positive ways. I'm so glad my sister and I have the opportunity to dance with such wonderful teachers/staff. Highly recommend!

We have been at CFDC for four years now and it has been a wonderful experience. My girls both started Performance Team this year and I have seen so much growth in them as dancers. Lindsey and Nicole have fostered a climate in the studio that is filled with positivity and a true sense of community.

CFDC has surpassed all of my expectations and beyond. My family has moved around quite a bit due to work. I try my best to smoothen the transitions for my kids from one country/city to the next by finding schools with not only the highest quality of instructions, but also ones which foster the development of good character and strong community. I researched and made sure I was able to find exactly what I needed and am used to providing for my kids prior to our acceptance in relocating to Orlando. The team of teachers at CFDC have been amazing from my initial phone contact with them to the daily details for the planning of classes, private lessons, techniques, values, atmosphere in studio/at competition/convention, staffing, artistry, and much more. Words cannot properly express what it is like for my daughter to be in this Dance Family! She has the most dedicated, caring, and skilled teachers who let her know, every time they see her, that there aren't any goals too high for her to achieve and they proceed to show her the way. They recognize each student's strengths and areas of need, and utilize that to the development of their program and dances. Furthermore, the older students at CFDC are inspirations to my daughter. They encourage and volunteer to work with her as well as other younger dancers similar to an apprentice program. My daughter learns from them the fact that she, too, may also give back in the same way. She truly looks up to these 'older sisters' and is so grateful for their support! My daughter has grown so much as a dancer in the short time we've been with the studio this year. CFDC has made every moment of her first comp season magical. She loves the whole process, along with the social/emotional growth. The confidence, skills, and family CFDC has given her is absolutely priceless! She has found her home.

Do NOT take your young child to this studio, they will not learn to LOVE dance. Instructor yelled at girls like some drill sergeant, refusing to put the AC on until girls got their dance right. Might work for season competitors over age 14, but young 8-10 year olds? Since we competed at another studio, I thought I knew what to expect. I only switched to CFDC for better location and pricing. Big Mistake! I realized that Nicole (the "owner" by way of daddy's money) doesn't think of you as a customer...you are paying to have the privilege to dance for CFDC. They never spoke to parents & were so unapproachable and unfriendly. Business only via flyers and private facebook page. My husband even spent time helping build their sets. At the competition, they were not involved, no pep talks, and barely watched the actual competitions. Nicole texted me after the first competition to not come back. No reason was given. She refused to meet with me & my husband. How do you explain to a young impressionable girl that she can't compete or dance the rest of the season. Not like I could move to another studio mid-season. They are NOT professionals. They are just spoiled brats taking your money to strategically enter local dance competitions show the trophies make you think they are good. I should have never left the other studio who beat them every time they met at competition.

I have been dancing at Central Florida Dance Center for over 3 years now and every year just gets better and better! The dance teachers here positively motivate us to be our very best. They show us how to stretch and dance safely and continue to help every dancer improve. They teach pretty much all styles including, ballet, jazz, hip hop, ballroom, silks, gymnastics and way more. CFDC is the best studio to be the best you be !!!!!!!!!!!!!
