Contemporary Ballet Dallas Introduce
Welcome to Contemporary Ballet Dallas, a distinguished dance school and company located in the vibrant heart of Dallas, Texas. For years, we have been a cornerstone of the DFW arts community, providing exceptional dance education for students of all ages and abilities. Our mission is to foster a love for dance while providing professional, comprehensive training in a supportive and inclusive environment. We believe that dance is a powerful form of expression and a journey of personal growth, and we are dedicated to helping every student—from the smallest toddler to the seasoned adult—find their passion and reach their full potential. With a diverse curriculum that includes everything from classical ballet to modern and jazz, we offer a unique and enriching experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
As a dance studio, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of instruction and artistry. Our classes are designed to build a strong foundation in technique while encouraging creativity and performance skills. We understand that starting a dance journey can be intimidating, especially for young children, which is why we take pride in our patient and encouraging instructors. As one parent shared, their daughter's instructor, Ms. Valya Shipley, helped her get over her initial "trepidation" with graciousness and expertise, setting her "dance career...off on the right foot." We believe this personal connection and professional guidance are crucial for a successful and enjoyable learning experience. For parents in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Contemporary Ballet Dallas is widely recognized as a "good for kids" institution, a place where children can not only learn to dance but also build confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships.
We also understand that dance is a lifelong pursuit, and we are dedicated to providing a welcoming space for adults to learn and grow. While we have received a negative review about a past experience in an adult beginner class, we take all feedback seriously. It is a part of our ongoing commitment to improving our curriculum and instructional approach. Our goal is to ensure that every student, regardless of age or experience level, feels supported and receives the personal attention they need to succeed. Our instructors are passionate about teaching and strive to provide a positive and constructive environment for all. We encourage all of our students to provide feedback, which helps us to constantly evaluate and improve our offerings. We are dedicated to providing a high-quality learning experience for every single person.

Contemporary Ballet Dallas Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1CBD is outstanding. Our daughter loves her instructor, Ms. Valya Shipley. Without her graciousness and expertise teaching dance, I doubt my daughter ever would have got over the initial trepidation that all little ones experience. We are so pleased, and my daughter's dance career is off on the right foot, so to speak!
September 04 · Patrick DyessI finished the adult beginners class for classical ballet last year at this studio.Unfortunately it was not what I expected. I usually don’t write negative reviews, but in this case I think it will be helpful for other people looking for a beginners class to read my experiences.Firstly, I would like to state that after each class we received a questionnaire to ask about our experience and if we have feedback. I filled these in EVERY time with my experience, and gave constructive feedback and asking for a little more help. No one ever reached out to me after filling in about 10 of these. So this review should not come as a shock to the school.I used to to ballet as a kid, and loved it. Back in the day, the teacher would help you get your feet or other body parts right and give you feedback if your posture wasn’t right. In this class however, the teacher never give any personal feedback, only to “the group”. Not even when I asked, there was always a “sigh” when I asked for a little bit more help or guidance. Most people in this class often did not know what to do and looked lost. The teacher did not care and was going through the motions. When I asked for a little more help on behalf of the class, the teacher said “most people learn ballet when they are a kid, so yes this is hard”. I was dumbfounded. If you as a school do not believe adults are worth it to teach this class, then don’t offer adult classes. When I asked others in the class how they thought it was going, some of them told me this was there 3rd time doing the same class in the hopes of getting better each time. I’m sorry, but that is just ridiculous. If you can’t teach your students the right way, why would you encourage them to do the same class multiple times? If there is “no time” to help your students do it right from the start, then how do we as students evolve from there?If you just want to do a few basic workouts and don’t actually care about learning ballet from the start, by all means try this dance studio.If however you want to truly learn ballet, this is not for you.
August 19 · Timmy LI’m so happy I found this studio. There are so many classes available, for all ages, from complete beginner to advanced. I have been taking the basics beginner ballet series and absolutely loving it. Students are encouraged to show up as they are. I never feel judged in class, only encouraged. Deborah has been an amazing instructor who takes the time to give thoughtful corrections in class. I feel stronger and more connected with my body since taking class with her. I would highly recommend classes with Deborah or any teacher at CBD! Great, reputable studio
June 03 · Hayley ByrdAmazing staff and teacher, our daughter's first day of Ballet. She absolutely loved it!
August 21 · James AltieryCalled multiple times over 2-3 week time span trying to book a dance birthday party for my daughter. Each time I was told I would receive a call back from the manager or the person in charge of booking these parties -- never heard from them. Was PROMISED I would receive a call back. Never did. Very unprofessional. I think it would have been a very fun party for 5 year olds. Too bad.
