Cheryl's School of Dance (CSD) has taught in Rhode Island since 1980 and offers classes for all ages, grouped into preschool, elementary, and middle and high school programs. The preschool program uses monthly themed lesson plans, imagery and props and runs as ballet/tap combination classes: Baby Ballet for ages 2.5-3, Broadway Babies for 3-4, Showtime Starlets for 4-5 and Petite Pizzazz for 5-6, plus Tumbling Tots acro for ages 3-6, a Hip Hop Flip Flop class and Snazzy Jazzy jazz for ages 4-6. From grade 1 upward students take separate ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical and acrobatics classes, with ballet treated as the foundation of all forms and acro taught using the Acrobatic Arts syllabus. Preschool combination classes wear a level-specific uniform and there is a studio dress code. All classes perform in a June recital, the school fields a competition team, runs summer programs, and offers free trial classes.
