Creative Dance Theatre in San Diego, California

Miss Erica is absolutely wonderful with the kids, she is very kind, patient and so creative. Every class is different, there is always a new theme/story/song/props and the kids are learning to dance while having so much fun. I couldnu2019t think of a better class & environment for my”

“We have nothing but positive things to say about Creative Dance Theater. Both of my daughters (8 and 5) have been enrolled in classes for nearly 3 years now. My favorite thing about CDT is the warm, loving environment the studio and every teacher provides for the students.
