For Parents

Experience the Transformation!
Picture


​Parents who have children involved in CDI experience firsthand the transformational process that our program provides. The athletic, high-energy dance style appeals to boys and girls alike, and studies have shown that participation in the program improves students’ academic performance and self esteem.


Picture



​These positive changes develop because CDI has the highest expectations for every single student we teach.
 CDI teaching artists know that every child is capable of learning how to dance as long as they give it their fullest effort. We do not give up on students who don’t excel right away, or let the student who is gifted rest on his or her natural ability. Every student is taught to develop a personal standard of excellence, and challenge himself or herself to meet that standard at every class and practice.
​





​Parents help with this process by encouraging their child to participate to the best of their ability in every CDI class, and to take it as seriously as they would any other subject. 
The skills they learn through CDI will help them in all of their current and future academic pursuits.

  • Reading and language skills
  • Social skills
  • Collaboration
  • Value of exercise
  • Risk-taking
  • Perseverance
  • Mathematic skills
  • Motivation to learn
  • Positive school environment
  • Sense of community
  • Self-esteem
