Why Choose Cynthia Kniffin Dance Academy
At CKDA we go beyond mere instruction – we focus on building stage presence, honing dance fundamentals, and creating an inclusive space for every dancer. Our commitment to non-competitive excellence shines through in every class, performance, and grand story stage production we produce. Join us on this unique dance journey, where the spotlight is on growth, creativity, and the joy of dance itself.

At Cynthia Kniffin Dance Academy, we've been dedicated to nurturing and refining the talents of every dancer for nearly five decades. Proudly part of the Norwalk dance tradition since 1974, our commitment to excellence in dance education has only grown stronger over the years. As a non-competitive dance studio, we focus on fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for dancers of all ages, from preschool through adulthood.
Our recipe for dance excellence begins with a strong foundation in ballet, cultivating grace and precision. We enrich our program with a multi-genre approach, offering classes in Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary, Tap, Tumbling, Hip Hop, and Boys on the Move. This ensures a diverse and vibrant curriculum catering to all ages, interests, and skill levels.
While all our classes are co-ed and inclusive, we're pleased to offer specialized classes that cater to the unique interests and talents of young male dancers, spanning from grade school through high school. We warmly welcome boys to join our dance community, contributing to its vibrant diversity and creativity.
