We are thankful to have experienced a lot of success with our live and pre-recorded online classes, and will continue to offer these. However, our long-term goal has always included opening our new location, and we are pleased to announce that we will offer our program in a new location starting Summer 2022!
Classes & Choreography
We offer Classes & Choreography in Ballet (technical training and artistry, variations and contemporary ballet), Lyrical, Modern Contemporary, Tap, Jazz, and Ballroom.
Classes are designed to develop breathtaking lines and extensions, increase your stamina and agility, and help you feel confident with turns, floor work, footwork, dance vocabulary, performing and recalling choreography, and executing ballet adage/allegro.
We also provide authentic choreography and classical variations that showcase each dancer's strengths, and we help each dancer enter competitions and auditions with the skills they need to be confident and successful.
Conditioning, Flexibility, and Fitness Training
We encourage everyone to look at the elements of dance and movement as a path to better living because we understand the scientific benefits that dance and movement has on the mind as well as the body.
We purposefully train athleticism into dancers, but encourage everyone at every age and ability to find what form of exercise works best for them, because movement is one of the best ways to protect your mind and body against aging, protect your brain from cognitive decline, and protect your joints and bones from injury (it is also a healthy path toward weight loss).
Visit our Blog page for articles and references that talks about dance, movement, and exercise, and visit our Conditioning, Flexibility, and Fitness page for more information!
Dedicated Stretch Classes
We offer two types of classes designed to increase the range of motion of each joint, safely.
Our Dedicated Stretch Class is geared toward the person who is starting this journey, or who is coming back to it, and is looking for a general stretch class for their bodies. The level of difficulty is set by you, and you are coached along the way so that you reach your goals safely.
Our Flexibility Training sessions are geared toward the person who has experience stretching safely, currently practices safe stretching, and is looking to increase their current range of motion .
Please note that hypermobility in dancers can lead to serious injuries that take much longer to heal, and have a higher rate of recurrence. For this reason, we do not condone or practice the "overstretch" with the use of props as seen on social media or as described in blogs.
We use safe stretching methods that are proven to be effective to achieve the greatest range of motion in a joint, but will not perform or support the practice of the "overstretch" with the use of props.
Functional Training
Functional training is very important to live a high quality life throughout our years. Our functional training classes are fitness classes for adults of all levels of fitness, even if you are just starting out!
The benefits achieved through functional training include greater muscle integrity and muscle memory, enhanced cognitive function (get rid of the foggy brain!), injury reduction at every age, improvements to balance and posture, and an increase in flexibility and coordination.
You also don't have to be an elite athlete to join this class! If you have been out of the game for a little while, or feel less prepared physically for high impact intensity training, then our functional training class is for you.
We coach to each level, and work you up to your individual potential.
Who We Are
We know that dancers and athletes are born with strong instincts to learn more, do more, and achieve more, and we know this because we are also trained dancers and athletes who have evolved into experienced and passionate dance and movement educators.
We know that achievements are attained through combining knowledge, effort, and practice over time, and that's why we continue to advance ourselves and stay current with the industry.
We are sincere when we say that we will bring to you the best training, and do this in an attentive, educational, and supportive environment. We love the process of learning and advancing through challenges, and
we love what we do.
Our love and respect for achievements is what inspires us to invest ourselves into making CDT the go-to program for all dancers and athletes who are seeking more.
The Continuous Dance Training program provides what is required to master techniques, artistic styles, and physical efficiency. Our dancers are recognized at national dance conventions and competitions, and are awarded scholarships as well as invitations into dance programs because we provide strong (and correct) dance training as well as solid performance coaching.
We work with all ages and levels, future champions, and future conservatory and university students. We are committed to your success, and we are all in!
Where We Are Located
Our plans to open our new location was halted when Covid-19 became a pandemic, and was further stalled with the rise of infection rates throughout 2021.
But, during that time our student base grew from one state to eight, and from one country to three as we adapted and delivered our program in an online capacity. It proved to us that dancers of all ages and skills crave training that teaches and inspires them, and they want to become the best they can be.
We are proud of our online students for their dedication throughout the pandemic, and will continue to provide them with exceptional training as we move forward. We will always work with dancers in an online capacity, and will always make time for new students who want to receive the training we provide.
If you are interested in training with us online, please email us!
With all that being said, we are happy to finally announce that while we will continue to hold online sessions for our current and new students, we have also begun coaching students in-person in New Port Richey, FL.

Virtual Sessions
We will continue to offer online sessions!
For our virtual sessions, we ask that you be:
1. Adv-Beginner (minimum)
2. Focused and Determined
3. Experienced with online classes
Our founder, Laren Cavicchio, began working with gymnasts and dancers via video chat in 2013 on an as-needed basis throughout the United States. She is accessible via Zoom and has created a practice for dancers and athletes, worldwide.
Online Access
Everyone deserves access to dance and fitness. For many of us it feels better to take class in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, without others in class with you.
Visit our Online Access page for more information on how you can learn dance or practice what you already know, brush up on skills or build on what you have learned!
