About Us/Mission

 

Mission Statement

Chehalem Valley Dance Academy is committed to providing superior,
positive instruction in a safe, properly equipped dance facility. We are dedicated to providing a recreational program for the less serious dancer as well as an intense training ground for the pre-professional dancer. We are determined to provide a haven of positive support for all our dancers.  While our hourly rates remain competitive, we are determined to continue to offer a dramatically lower family rate than the average studio so that serious dancers and large families can afford more classes. We are focused on providing the supportive and respectful classroom environment necessary for the artistic growth of every dancer and the further development of every child’s self-confidence. We are committed to bringing the best and most qualified instructors to our studio and then keeping them here by maintaining a supportive and appreciative atmosphere. We are resolved that every dancer will feel special. Dance is a gift for everyone to share and we are committed to making everyone feel welcome and encouraged. We welcome diversity in our studio, believing that different genders, ages, nationalities, races, religious beliefs, and special needs enrich and enhance our program. We are deeply invested in providing a place for adults to enjoy and pursue dance. The benefits of dance are endless and extraordinary and we are honored to offer a program so special.

About Us

We offer classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Hip Hop for ages 3 and up. Our programs focus on developing life skills as well as dance skills for the recreational or pre-professional dancer. We employ the most qualified instructors that share the same pillars of leadership and expertise in their field. At Chehalem Valley Dance Academy, we believe that through dance training, every person can realize their true potential. Our session runs from September 15^th through May 20^th and culminates in our Annual Showcase. Dancers will have one costume per class to purchase that will be theirs to keep following the showcase. As a family of CVDA, you are invited to participate in Parent-Watch Weeks, Bring-A-Friend Weeks, The Nutcracker, First Friday Art Walk activities, and many more events at the studio and out in the community. Our staff believes that dance skills are life skills. Joining CVDA will grow every person’s self-confidence, discipline, respect, perseverance, leadership, active listening skills, and ability to set goals and achieve them.

Studios

Our facility features 3 studios with raised, professional dance floors. The studio is cleaned daily and sanitized weekly.
