The CD/FW School values:

  • The art form of dance, as a performing art, with an emphasis on modern dance and creative movement, and the infinite possibilities for human movement...
  • The creative process and self expression, with opportunities for students to explore and discover the world of dance and communication through movement from the inside out
  • Proper alignment, form, and function in training, to reinforce healthy neuromuscular patterns and practices within all styles and techniques
  • Collaboration, cooperation, and active participation -- students help to choreograph their own recital dances, and take "ownership" of the process every step of the way
  • Reasonable pricing and rock bottom recital costs... As part of our commitment to the community as a non-profit organization, tuition and fee pricing is kept as low as possible, and recital costs are kept to a bare minimum to make our classes more accessible to the community... (the majority of recital costumes are purchased at discount stores like Target, not only saving you money, but providing students with a costume which can be re-used in daily life rather than sitting in a closet...)

The CD/FW School is part of the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth.
