About Classic Dance Academy
“Inspiring Excellence”
YAGP Awards: Hope Award & Junior Grand Prix winners, Best School and Outstanding Teacher Michelle Dolighan-Rodenbeck
​
Classic Dance Academy (CDA) is Centennial's home for dance excellence!
Classic Dance Academy opened in July of 2010 under the direction of Colorado’s own Michelle Dolighan-Rodenbeck, from Aurora. Her professional career as a Principal Ballerina with Colorado Ballet led her to an extensive teaching career throughout Colorado, including several years as the Director of Colorado Ballet’s Academy. She felt there was a need for a special kind of dance school, a place with a perfect mix of high level dance training coupled with a caring, positive environment where young people can thrive.
CDA quickly became a “melting pot” of incredibly talented young dancers who care for and support each other as a dance family while enjoying the rigors of disciplined, high level dance training in all genres.
Our faculty consists of experienced professionals who are a combination of structure, artistry and precision for the highest quality dance education. We are committed to INSPIRING EXCELLENCE in every person that enters our door.
