Since 1990 we have offered dance classes for all ages and ability levels. Our goal is to give every dancer a chance to experience everything the art of dance can provide. We offer opportunities for dancers to express their individual talents in class and through performances. These experiences help our dancers develop self-discipline, gain confidence and achieve a feeling of pride in their accomplishments.
The faculty at Connolly Dance Arts is comprised of certified dance instructors and professionals in the industry. Our main goal is to see that our students enjoy their experience. We understand that training in dance increases motor skills, improves concentration, increases self-discipline and motivation, and allows for creative self-expression.

I have been a Dance Instructor at Connolly Dance Arts sine 2012. I absolutely love working in a professional atmosphere where we not only instill the love of dance but also teach terminology and the history of dance to our dancers as well. Seeing my dancer's happy faces as they are dancing in class and rushing to their parents after class with big smiles on their faces makes my dance instructor heart so happy. I love being a part of CDA's family!!!

My daughter loves dancing at Connolly Dance Arts for the past 6 years. She has danced in preschool through level 2 ballet, jazz, and tap classes. She looks forward to classes each week with all of the knowledgeable and caring instructors at CDA. The students also have the opportunity to perform annually in the Spring Dance Recital and Nutcracker. I would highly recommend this dance studio for dancers of all ages, levels, and experience.

We love CDA! My daughter has been coming here for 4 years, ever since she was 3. She loves Ms. Melissa. The only reason why I don’t give it a 5 is because I wish there was a more structured way to help us parents see their progression and advance quicker. I also don’t like that they don’t allow you to take photos or record during rehearsal

This was our first experience with dance, my daughter loves it. She looks forward to ballet class each week and always tells me how nice Ms. Melissa is. It’s been the perfect way to introduce her to what I hope will grow into a life-long love for dancing!

I have had two daughters dance at Connolly and both have had wonderful experiences! I love that the instructors are trained and passionate about dance. They teach not only technique but terminology and the history of dance as well! The staff at Connolly is always helpful and professional. My daughters have loved dancing at Connolly and have made lasting friendships as a result! Thank you to Kathleen and the amazing dance teachers for a lifetime of dance memories!

My daughter is going into fifth grade and has been with Connolly for the last 3 years. She absolutely loves it! The owner and staff are so on top of it, very well organized and most importantly care about the kids. When a business has been up and running in a community for as long as they have, you know they know what they are doing. I have found this not to be the case with other studios we have tried. My daughter enjoys her teachers so much and the nutcracker performances are impressive. One nice option I have found here is that the kids can take classes and then participate in 2 performances

My elder daughter has always had a passion for dance. We enrolled her at Connolly because 2 of her other friends were already there. What we didn't expect was how much grace and more love for dance she developed.
Ms. Sondra is so good with the girls and my daughter has loved learning from her. I would absolutely recommend Connolly to anyone!
During the summer and recital season, Connolly did an amazing job at making sure that a recital would still be able to be put on with proper social distancing protocol in place and it turned out to be be absolutely beautiful!!
We will definitely be going
