Castle Rock Dance Academy was founded in 2005, and we are incredibly thankful to have spent so many years being a part of the wonderful Castle Rock community. At Castle Rock Dance Academy, proper technique, excellence, and integrity are held to high standards.

At our studio, students also learn so much more than dancing. This is a studio where best friends are made, etiquette and self-discipline are taught, and students learn and build skills that they can carry with them throughout life’s journey. We focus on building a long-lasting love for dance, building up each individual’s self-esteem, and offering opportunities for leadership as dancers move through our program.

We are a performance-based studio focused on offering multiple opportunities for students to perform in various settings. We love partnering with local retirement communities, Douglas County Libraries, the Town of Castle Rock, and more to provide these experiences. In addition, we offer 4 performances in a traditional stage setting each year: Making Spirits Bright, The Nutcracker of Castle Rock, Spring Showcase, and our June recital.

We welcome individuals who choose to dance recreationally as well as those who are interested in pursuing a career in dance. Students will achieve their personal goals at CRDA as they learn in a positive environment, taught by well-qualified, caring instructors.

We offer a variety of classes for ages 3+ including: Ballet & Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Modern, Acro, Hip Hop, and Musical Theater.

This is more than a dance studio; it’s an extended family. We invite you to be part of it!
