CCDC was established by Sandra Woods in 1990 in response to a pressing need for a first rate dance school in the Carroll and Western Howard county areas. Over the past 28 years CCDC has established a reputation as the area’s premier dance school. We invite young children, teens, and adult students to participate in year-round programs designed for dancers at all levels, including an intensive pre-professional dance curriculum. Individual attention, detailed instruction and correction, and an emphasis on finding fulfillment and joy through self-motivation and personal achievement are all hallmarks of the Carroll County Dance Center philosophy. The Carroll County Dance Center classes are limited in size, with student placement based upon ability and experience. The facility, which is located in the Warfield Complex adjacent to the Springfield Hospital Center, has four spacious studios, raised flooring, viewing windows, TV monitor, a homework area, and a student lounge.
