What a beautiful job our dancers did in our performances at this years recitals. We could not be more proud of the way they handled themselves, danced from the heart and enjoyed doing what they love. We heard so many comments from the audience on how very impressed they were with the dancers and the show. Thank you all for a wonderful memory! -

Mr. Bosco will be making a change in his teaching career. He will be devoting all his time to expanding his touring schedule throughout the U.S. Bosco has been a wonderful teacher and friend to our school for many years and we will miss him greatly, however, we are very excited for his new venture! We are also happy to announce that Bosco will hand over the baton to Ms. Stefanie Santiago who will be teaching our hip hop classes next year. We invite all dancers to extend their good wishes to Bosco in his new endeavors. -

Curtis Studio of Dance (CSD) is a multidisciplinary school of dance founded in 1973. It is our goal to provide exemplary and challenging dance instruction, and to provide, not only the students, but the community at large, quality experiences in dance performance and arts education.Instruction is geared to produce technically sound, injury free dancers, in a caring environment with emphasis on building self-esteem and the development of essential social skills. CSD’s long-term commitment to the community is reflected in its lifelong policy of providing classes for every willing and able student, regardless of financial or physical constraints. This extends to integrating children with disabilities into regular dance classes of all levels, giving CSD a unique standing in the community.
Our long-term commitment to the community is reflected in the multitude of performance opportunities we offer the students and our audiences from the annual Recital and Nutcracker production, to community festivals and events, fundraisers, school and community talent shows. We travel with students to performing arts conventions for additional educational opportunities and train a competition corps that competes in highly acclaimed international dance competitions.
CSD employs highly acclaimed teachers in the dance industry who have enjoyed long and successful performing and teaching careers, bridging the gap between recreational dance and the possibility of a career in the performing arts.
