YYou’ll love watching your child’s excitement as their dreams take shape at Cleveland City Dance. Families quickly see and feel the positive effects of dance as students gain confidence, discipline, focus, and creativity. Ballet, in particular, provides lasting educational benefits—strengthening both mind and body while developing coordination, poise, and resilience. Watch your child blossom in class and in performances, building skills that enrich life well beyond the studio.

Cleveland City Dance is dedicated to nurturing a love for dance in students of all ages—from 3 to 85. The studio offers ballet, boys’ ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip hop, acro, African dance, jazz heels, yoga, and more. 

As the home of the nonprofit City Ballet of Cleveland, the studio provides unique performance opportunities, including the beloved Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker. Dancers also engage with visiting professionals, attend festivals, and take master classes from internationally recognized choreographers and Broadway instructors.

Alumni of Cleveland City Dance and the City Ballet of Cleveland have gone on to perform with companies such as New York City Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and Tucson Ballet.
