HIP HOP LIIVES HERE.

This isn’t a trend. It’s a culture. We are Guelph’s home for authentic hip hop training.

… But don’t get it twisted — we bring that same passion, skill, and energy to every style we teach, from ballet to jazz, acro to tap. Whatever your groove, we’ve got you.

At CDC, we break away from traditional dance studio norms by fostering a positive, exploration-driven learning environment and a community-focused approach to dance education. As a core hip hop studio, we embrace the values of peace, love and unity, creating a space where every dancer feels supported and inspired.

  • CDC is so much more than just a dance studio ...

    CDC is so much more than just a dance studio. It is a safe and welcoming place where dancers feel loved and supported. It is a place where important life skills are taught and developed, and where lifelong friendships are made. Miss Kelsey and her staff have such a pure passion for what they do and it is evident in how they teach, support, and love the dancers. I have witnessed many dancers grow and blossom, and most importantly believe in themselves. My daughters are confident both on and off of the dance floor and I truly thank CDC for helping them to develop important skills that will carry them through their lives both on and off the stage.

  • Words cannot describe how much both my children love attending

    Words cannot describe how much both my children love attending both in person and online classes with CDC. My son started at CDC when he was 3 and my daughter when she was 2.5, and we couldn't imagine a better start to their dance journey. The program is a perfect balance of technique and fun, and provides a welcoming and inclusive environment. Miss Kelsey has done a phenomenal job of navigating the difficult times of ever changing covid protocols, pivoting her programs to online when need be and always showcasing her care and appreciation for her students and their safety and well-being. My family and I would highly recommend Connections Dance Collective

  • Joining CDC was the best decision

    Joining CDC was the best decision I could have made for my girls. They always liked going to dance, but now they absolutely love going to dance. They have gained so much confidence and learned so many new skills since we switched studios just 8 months ago. The staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend CDC!

  • We are new to CDC and we are beyond impressed!

    We are new to CDC and we are beyond impressed! My daughter and I take hip hop classes with Miss Ally and she is the real deal! She's so warm and welcoming and funny. You can tell everyone loves her. She is such a patient and wonderful instructor! My other daughter does acro sessions with Miss Sara. She has such a gift for teaching dance! She makes everyone feel included and her patience and positive attitude are what sets her apart from everyone else.
