Who We Are
Calera Dance Academy is where technique, artistry, and community come together. We have worked tirelessly since 2003 to cultivate a creative atmosphere where students of all ages and skill levels can dance. Classes at CDA are joyful, diverse, & reflect each instructor's passion for their craft,
for teaching children, & individual artistic background.
We promote things that will encourage them for years to come including living a healthy and active lifestyle, exceeding expectations, & dealing with difficulties. Our staff is here to promote time management, self discipline, and more. Professional, experienced teachers who are also seasoned performers in their craft provide quality instruction, adult leadership, & a solid foundation for learning. We foster an environment for goal setting & inspire even our youngest students to pursue their dreams. Our school presents only age-appropriate activities, movement, costumes, and music, giving your child the highest standard of instruction possible.

HISTORY OF CALERA DANCE ACADEMY
In early 2000, Mrs. Smith moved to and fell in love with the town of Calera, Alabama. Calera Dance Academy opened its first location in downtown Calera in Summer 2003.
In the summer of 2008, she relocated to the main street location as it had the charm of a traditional “New York” style dance studio.
At the end of the 2012-2013 dance season, Mrs. Smith decided to spend more time with her children.
Mrs. Parker, the new owner, has since guided the direction of the studio.
In 2014, we added a second space adjacent to the corner and added our competitive program and a syllabus that progressively grows our dancers within and beyond this program.
In 2021, we added a 3rd space on Main Street to better accommodate scheduling.
In 2022, we moved to our current location and are so happy to remain a part of Main Street efforts!
We continue to be blessed with a professional staff who strive to offer the best quality dance instruction. Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to making Calera Dance Academy a success!
