Originally known as the Rozann-Zimmerman Ballet Center, CDA’s advanced instructors have all had soloist and principal careers with national ballet companies and the alternative/contemporary teachers are award-winning performers, choreographers, and love teaching kids. The curriculum, under the direction of Jennifer and Robbin Shahani, draws upon the best of the R.A.D., Vaganova and Cecchetti techniques, and is carefully tailored to the age and physical development of the student.
