Chon Reneé Dance Academy sets a great foundation for any child who has an interest in performing arts

“Academy Kids” Dance Mom

Where do I start…? There are so many great aspects of CRDA. Something that sits closest to my heart is the work that’s done within.
The bricks that are firmly yet lovingly added to the foundation of my daughter’s growth is truly immeasurable.
There are two things that bubble to the top for me (as a mommy to a little black girl):
Always an atmosphere of “I CAN!” the confidence that is imparted to the dancers is consistent and genuine.
No matter if it’s practice, fundraising or a performance there’s an expectation of EXCELLENCE! .This includes her appearance to how she represents herself.
The best part is that Mrs. C ensures that this standard is not mistaken for perfection
“Practice makes permanent” is a phrase my daughter is told & repeats often. This is a vital twist on what society says to our children and carries a priceless imprint on their lives journey.
Thank you CRDA, more importantly, thank you, Mrs. C, for sharing more than your talent with our most precious treasures!

What I love most about being apart of the (CRDA) Family is that my child has gained lots of exposure and participated in may community outreach events.

London looks forward to dance and she adores you (Ms. C). That’s the best feeling ever as a mom!

Prior to joining CRDA, my daughter London was extremely bashful and absolutely hated being put on the spot; however Chon Renee was very patient and continued to work with London, and after just one year, she no longer fears being put on the spot and actually volunteers to go first. Not only did the academy help her with being bashful, it also gave her the confidence that she needed to feel as though she could succeed; which not only is being illustrated through dancing but also through her academics.

CRDA has embossed an unspoken expectation to conduct yourself as a lady, always do your best and to show patience and kindness toward your peers. My daughter has experienced this standard and it bleeds over into her interactions at both home and school. She’s our budding flower and she knows it! Her confidence and desire to work to do her best is amazing and encouraging even to mommy.

In a nutshell since my daughter has become a part of the CRDA experience, she has developed great social, interpersonal and leadership skills. I give CRDA five stars.

Outside of the home, Ciena was always an introvert. Quiet, cautious, scared. Knowing that she was about to start kindergarten the following year, I was nervous about her transition. So, I started looking for something to help her excel. Then I found Chon Reneé and her dance academy. A blessing to say the very least. Even After reading on Chon’s achievements and accomplishments, I was still nervous. But, the kindness of Chon was undeniably genuine. She held Ciena’s hand the first day…while teaching the rest of the kids…for the whole hour. Who does that?!!! ( I know because I was that mom outside …peeking through the window praying my child didn’t have a meltdown) . By the 3Rd class, she was hooked!!!!
Ciena is now starting her 2nd year with CRDA. And eagerly awaits Monday evenings to go see Ms.C and her dance sisters. Her transition into school was flawless. Her self-confidence is growing. Her beauty is emerging. I can’t help but accredit that to CRDA. 
Chon Reneé Dance Academy is right for you! Whether your child is a born superstar in need of a creative outlet, or a little star in search of their “super”.

Chon Renee Dance Academy is more than just a wonderful  creative outlet for Maddison, It’s family! There she receives encouragement in challenging areas and praise when she excels! There’s tons of things that I can give kudos to in terms of this artistic outlet, that my daughter has been in for 3 years. One that sits at the top of the list is the standard that Ms C sets for each child, not only during practice but in public appearances and performances. She creates an atmosphere where the standard of  Excellence is expected, bleeds into everyday interaction & is carried out with pride by my 6 year old daughter.  Her experience with Chon Renee Dance Academy has enriched her life socially, emotionally = exceptionally! #morethanJUSTdance
