Please enjoy a special message from our Founder/Director Carole Valleskey!
At CDI, we are fortunate to see how dance and music bring children together. When we decided last fall to use "We The People" as this year's theme, we could not have predicted how relevant it would be in this moment. As we acknowledge the injustice and violence taking place in our communities, we also want to share a glimmer of hope. If you can, take a few minutes to watch CDI's first ever Virtual Gala and share in the joy that we experienced creating it.

At CDI, we are doing our part for our community of public school students by providing them with weekly online CDI classes. This way they can get much needed exercise while following Los Angeles’ Mayor Garcetti “Safer at Home” guidelines.
