Horrible, parents be warned. Here is my story. We show up a bit early, my child and I are standing out the building doors waiting with a group of other parents. My child is 2 years old. One other parent had a child at the age of 2 as well. Both on their way to being completely potty trained. No diapers on, we assumed we would be able to take them to the bathroom. Finally someone came out and told us that we needed to walk to the other side of the building to enter their class room. So we all did. Next 3 minutes were horrifying. We enter the classroom and the teachers are rushing everyone to get into a circle several parents were saying I will be back at 6 to get you leaving their kids in this class room with no windows and 2 teachers. During rushing everyone to get into a circle one little girl was very upset that her mommy had left one teacher was wrestling around with her trying to get her to hold still to calm her down a very bad way of trying to get her to calm down. Then one teacher came up to me and the other parent and told us no parents allowed in literally tried to push us out of the building. As shes trying to push us out of the building the other parent with a two-year-old stopped and said wait a second who are you do you know my child which ones my child whats my phone number do you know anything about my kid the teacher proceeded to tell her we have roster sheets we know. The other parents said you do not know you know nothing about my kid meanwhile I had to squeeze my way through that teacher and the other parent to grab my child. The other parent grabbed her child and we both left.we were not about to leave our kids with strangers who obviously had no clue on how to handle a child, comfort a child, who our children were, and potty training, no clue. Horrible. I would never suggest this to anyone. And any decent parent would never ever leave their child alone like that. Im so angry on how they went about this, they could have tried to introduce them selves, explain what was going to happen, meet our kids, talk to us about needs they have, after all they are 2. Even though it is only half an hour, lots can happen.

Its hard to put into words how amazing this dance studio is. They dont only teach dance at CVDA, Kristen and her team teach their students life skills like respect, confidence and how to give back to the community. We started our daughter in ballet when she was 5. It was amazing to watch our very timid shy daughter go into her beginners ballet class and come out with her head held high and a smile from ear to ear!

my daughter absolutely LOVED taking classes. She kept asking when she can go back and points out the studio every time we drove by it. EVERYTIME! :) I miss taking her there (we moved away). We would recommend it. Its a fun and safe place for the kids to go and have fun, make friends, and just dance!

Chehalem Dance Academy is dedicated to excellent dance instruction, but more importantly to me as a mom, they are even more committed to teaching life skills like goal setting, time management, working as a team, and community service. This is the place I want my kids.

Love the studio - dance skills ARE life skills. Teachers are great, and very caring about the kids.
