Chon Reneé Dance Academy (CRDA) offers theatrical dance arts classes at various schools, facilities, and community centers in Solano and Napa County, as well as the SF Bay Area. CRDA is a place Where Dance Transforms & Enriches Lives for not only our artists but also the community.
We offer a non-competitive environment, exposure to performing on various platforms, an artistic outlet, a place to find & foster one’s true self, character & confidence building, community involvement, interpersonal opportunities, and a family-like community.
Our mission is to build showstopping confidence for the dance floor and the real world. Even if a student doesn’t want to become a professional dancer or artist, the benefits of dance stretch far beyond the stage, reaching the classroom or board room- giving them tools to succeed in any area of life.
At Chon Reneé Dance Academy, we only use age-appropriate music, material, costumes, and choreography; remaining ethical and tasteful at all times. We focus on well-rounded training in dance techniques, performance skills, acting, and stage presence.
In addition to annual theatrical dance productions, our students have the chance to perform year-round throughout the Northern California region. Past performances and appearances include the Juneteenth Celebration; The Mad Hatter Holiday Parade; the 4th of July Parade; Unity Day of Vallejo; the Vallejo Together Youth Expo & Parent Summit; the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade; Solano County Fair.
“Cool Fact:” CRDA is proudly the first black woman-owned dance studio of its kind in Vallejo, CA.
