THE C.D.S. PERFORMANCE TEAM
"COLBY DANCE SHOWSTOPPERS"

CLICK HERE TO "MEET" THIS YEAR'S TEAM!
The Colby Center for Dance has offered local performing opportunities to our students for over ten years - the Colby Dance Showstoppers (CDS)! We were the first dance school in the area to build a performance team as an "alternative" to competitive dance for students who wanted extra performing opportunities without the commitment that competitive dance requires if done at a high level. CDS has been a tremendous success!

The group is comprised of students of all ages who are studying at many different levels from beginners through advanced. The only requirement for participation is to be enrolled in two or more hours of technique classes each week. Team members hold several rehearsals and then perform at community events, as well as dancing special routines at the studio's Holiday & Recital shows. It’s a great experience in performing and entertaining audiences all over Central Florida! The team is a great opportunity for those wishing to have performing experience without the extra classes, rehearsals, and occasional travel that is involved with competition dance.

Each year the studio schedules several meetings to help parents and their dancers decide if they would like to participate in CDS. This year’s Orientation/Informational Meetings for the 2016-17 Season will be held on October 1st at 12:00 noon, October 4th at 5:30pm, October 5th at 4:30pm, and October 6th at 4:30pm. Dancer AND parent MUST attend ONE of these meetings to be eligible (no exceptions unless the dancer is in regularly scheduled dance class during the meeting the family chooses to attend). There is NO obligation to join after the meeting has ended, and you will be given at least a full week to make your decision.

Testimonials

​I am so happy with my families experience with this studio. Ms. Jen is great, she provides the girls with "age appropriate classes, costumes, choreography, music and technique. She provides several levels of escalation for each dancer so that you don't feel pressured to take on more than is appropriate for your daughter or family. Most importantly I really enjoy the other families that I have met that are a part of the studio. The other parents are incredibly supportive of my child and their daughters are as well. This is a competition studio but there is no competition attitude among the girls or parents. They are truly a loving supportive team in every sense of the word.   - 4 year Colby Dance Mom
