Over 25 Years of
Dance excellence
The studio is designed to extend to children and adults the benefits that can be derived
from an educational and professional dance program. Dance is the most physically and
mentally demanding subject within the arts. We strive to instill in our students the knowledge of
dance technique, feeling of movement and the emotional qualities required for the art of dance.

"CCDC has been a second home to our daughter for the last 10 years. The studio is not only for dance education but for priceless life skills as well. Ms. Kelly and her staff run a very loving and professional studio. The staff is there to embrace their students and walk them through the many challenges that children/teens face in today's world. CCDC is more than dance; it is a place where dance education meets love and produces creative art. I have never seen anyone pour as much time and energy into what they love, as the staff at CCDC. We are thankful we found CCDC and look forward to more years with the studio."

Merriam & Jeffrey’s Family 
"Carroll County Dance Center is the best dance studio around. My daughter, Kinsley, loves going to dance class and has so much fun. The teachers truly care about each dancer and encourage them to become their very best. Through dance, Kinsley has developed strong muscle control and cognitive skills. The classes offered here allow each dancer to find their passion and provide a creative outlet. CCDC has been a huge part of the community for dancers of all ages and is able to offer experiences on a large scale. Dancers here are able to impact not just our area, but larger areas through their many performances across the country. This studio is intertwined with our community through the varsity dance team at the local high school. Kinsley looks forward to the day she can join this team. CCDC will continue to leave an imprint on our area for many years to come."
