CBC Experiences

“ My 2-year-old twins absolutely love their TipToes, Tutus, and Make-Believe class. They adore Mrs. Kerry and ballet class is the highlight of their week! I love that they are not only learning basic dance skills, but also to separate from mom, follow directions, and take turns with their classmates. The class has also been great for their gross motor development, and my little one, who has been in physical therapy for delayed gross motor skills since 9 months of age, was discharged from treatment just months after beginning ballet at CBC, with instructions to "continue weekly ballet classes. ”

“As the parents of a young ballerina, we highly recommend Kerry Skuderin and the Cleveland Ballet Conservatory. Our daughter found a natural love of dance at an early age. At two years old, other studios believed Sofia was too young to train. Kerry welcomed us to the Conservatory. She hand placed Sofia in a class best suited for her, and continues to do so with each student as they progress. Kerry's experienced and well trained staff nurture young dancers personally with an enthusiastic approach and an engaging, effective curriculum. We appreciate the self-confidence and gratification that our daughter developed with the self-discipline and stamina that is being instilled through her instruction.”

“I began dancing while in gymnastics but switched to dance. I went to a couple of studios in the area, but they weren't as serious as CBC. After moving to D.C. for two years and coming back with more experience, I needed a new dance studio to help me grow as a dancer which brought me to CBC. Finding it in an article, I tried it out and immediately felt connected and that I could really grow as a successful dancer there. I am a Pro-C dancer at CBC, very involved and pleased with how much I've grown with this studio. The friendships that I've made are unbreakable. ”

“I have known Kerry Skuderin for many years and have always greatly appreciated her holistic, inclusive, and student centered approach to dance education. Cleveland Ballet Conservatory is a direct reflection of her personal philosophy of generating healthy, intelligent, beautiful and engaging dancers. The proof is when you walk into the doors of CBC and you see her students.”
