Testimonials

“I’m back in California to finish my last year of college, so I’ve been reminiscing about my past and my education and without the help and work of CityDance I wouldn’t be where I am. I just wanted to thank you so much for your support during my high school years! I really really appreciate all that you did for me and continue to do for so many children at CityDance!”

CityDance Class of 2017, USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, Class of 2021 Company Dancer with Ballet Hispánico, starting fall 2021

“I studied at CityDance because of its strong ballet and contemporary training. CityDance is special because of the lasting bonds I have made with fellow students and faculty. I have forged lifelong friendships with incredibly diverse people. Everyone in the Conservatory is so close that we are practically a family.”

Jade Diouf

CityDance Class of 2019, The Juilliard School

“I graduated in 2013 and I am now in Berlin working at the Staatsballett and also working on my own projects. After CityDance, I went to New York and trained at Juilliard for 4 years, and then after that, I was in Montreal dancing with RUBBERBAND. CityDance had prepared me for everything – a wide variety of techniques, performing anywhere and working with anyone. It was a lot of work and I feel like I am resilient because of this work. It’s really special.”
