2026-2027 Dance Classes



Adults & Special Needs

We have a large adult enrollment and welcome adults of all ages and all dance levels. For decades we have offered a variety of classes for adult students, and this year we are offering ten weekly adult classes in a wide range of dance genres (ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, and ballroom dance) with levels ranging from beginner to advanced. If you have any questions about the adult classes listed below, please e-mail info@cincinnatidance.com or call the studio at 513-521-8462.

We are in our 10th year of offering a tuition-free adaptive dance class ("A Chance to Dance") for students age 6 to 13 with special needs. CDMC director Tina Marie Prentosito, founder of our adaptive dance program and lead teacher, began the program a decade ago as a way to include students who might otherwise never get a chance to dance, which is how the name of the program originated. In addition to her decades of dance training and teaching experience, Ms. Tina has a BA in Psychology, is a parent of child with autism, and has firsthand experience dealing with physical limitations as a result of major spinal surgery which curtailed her professional dance career. If you have any questions about our Chance to Dance class, please e-mail info@cincinnatidance.com or call the studio at 513-521-8462.

Our 2026-2027 dance year is divided into two sessions: Session 1 runs September 7, 2026, through January 16, 2027, and Session 2 runs February 8, 2027, through June 12, 2027.
