Meet the Staff
Students at Robert F. Kennedy Elementary concentrate during
their CDI class
Great Teaching inspires
a love of learning.
All of CDI's teaching artists are professional dancers and have completed the rigorous National Dance Institute (NDI) teacher training, taught by master teachers from New York. All of our accompanists are professionals trained to work in a live classroom environment.

CDI is always looking for teaching artists and musicians.
