    The California Dance Institute is an in-school and after-school arts education program that teaches life and learning skills through dance and music. CDI motivates children to develop a personal standard of excellence by promoting confidence, fitness, self- discipline, and critical thinking through a structured and joyful dance workout.

    CDI aims to help fill the enormous gap that exists in public schools throughout the Los Angeles area in Arts and Physical Education, while helping to develop the minds and bodies of young people in an integrated way that is unique to dance.

    A longtime CDI dancer, currently on the Eastside Celebration team, Max serves as a great example to his teammates. His CDI teachers appreciate the sense of humor and dedication that he brings to every class.

    "My best CDI memory would be when I finished my first End of the Year performance. I felt a great feeling of accomplishing something that I didn't think I could do."

    Congratulations, Max!
