This dance academy is kept clean really well with frequent maintenance. It's studio space is roomy and perfect to dance in. The owner of this studio is extremely friendly and chill. One of the staff members, Alex is an amazing teacher and dancer. She's seen in the middle of the pic and is super fun to dance with!!

We started Hip Hop and Ballet back in Feb 2021. We are very pleased with the professionalism by Owner/instructor Dorothy and all her staff. They are very good with all the kids and parents and make the studio a fun, loving environment for each family. My niece always looks forward to dance and has come a long way, since her first day. I highly recommend Dance Charade Studio.

We booked private dance lessons with Dorothy for our wedding! I literally cannot stress enough how overlooked the first dance is for most couples. In my extensive experience as a wedding guest, it is easily the most awkward part of the reception to witness two people shuffle around a dance floor for 2-3min with not one sense of rhythm between them. No one wants to ruin the party spirit because you cant even do a dip without dropping your bride.
Having a coordinated first dance was so helpful, took the overthinking right out of it for us. Plus Dorothy really listened and took time to choreographed

I am not so much in dropping reviews, but felt the need to share the experience of trusting this Dance Academy for my daughter’s first time in HipHop dance.
I have always wanted her to try it out.
She started with Pre-Hip Hop and Ms Dorthy moved her up right way giving her advice that she could challenge herself better. Well we are so glad we took her advice. Ms Dorthy’s way of teaching the kids is amazing! She is firm, yet sweet at the same time! I see such dedication she puts in every day! The energy she puts is contagious 😊
It has been 6 months only, and my daughter has gone from pre

We came here looking to learn how to do our wedding first dance. I have never danced before. Ever. Dorothy not only made it doable but fun! We took the extra session and they paid off. By the end we felt comfortable and it went well! I highly recommend Dorothy. She is a fantastic choreographer and teacher. The moves we did were fun and she even taught me a solo portion. Everyone complimented us and were shocked that I was able to move like that. We highly recommend Dorothy and Charade Dance Academy.

Charade Academy is the best, period. I’ve been to countless dance studios for my daughter and this one is hands down the most caring, talented, and honest group of individuals that I have encountered. She always tells me how much better this studio is in comparison to the others and wants to keep coming.
If you are looking for a place that gives consistent improvements and a friendly environments, this is it!

Charade Dance Academy has such a friendly and welcoming staff! 🙂Tammy is very sweet and helpful with any questions you may have about the dance studio. Miss Dorothy, one of the teachers at the dance studio is not only a very talented dancer herself, but she also has the passion and patience to pass along her various dance skills/knowledge to others! My daughter loves coming here to learn with Ms. Dorothy and has grown in her overall self confidence through the art of dance. She participates in the mini tumbling/jazz, hip hop, and ballet classes! Definitely recommend this dance studio if you

Charade dance academy teacher Dorothy Ho is amazing first dance teacher for weddings. She not only taught us a great choreography for my husband and I, but she truly cared for us to have an amazing dance for our wedding memories. She came up with the most unique and beautiful dance! she even help us choose a beautiful song that wasn’t the typical wedding first dance song. She is the most patient teacher and although it’s just a first dance, she made sure that every detail of movement were done right so the overall look of the dance would look beautiful. We really believe our wedding highlight

My daughter started ballet at 2.5 years old at Charade Dance Academy. (We’ve added Tumbling classes lately). She totally enjoys going to her dance lessons at CDA. Ms. Dorothy is a great teacher. She’s very patient with the kids. The school is quite active on creating different programs for students, Summer camps, parents’ night out, performances, competitions... I highly recommend Charade Dance Academy.
