Reviews of Central Indiana Academy of Dance (Dance School)

Linda Gehr

My daughter spent 11 years studying ballet at Central Indiana Academy of Dance with Suzann DeLay. She had a great experience and great relationship with Suzann DeLay, Casey Clark and Ashley Jacobs. She was able to participate in Nutcracker and various full length ballets every year. Because of the caliber of the dancers, we were able to perform Birthday Variations from the Arpino Joffrey Foundation and also various pieces from world renowned choreographers. My daughter was extremely prepared to participate in summer intensives with some of the best ballet companies in the country and was also very prepared to continue her ballet education post-graduation. I highly recommend Central Indiana Academy of Dance!!

Central Indiana Academy of Dance is truly a first-class dance studio. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a friendly staff member. All teachers devote their time to each and every student. The owner, Suzann DeLay, has been around the Carmel area for over 30 years and has trained dancers that have graduated to go on to professional dance companies and the most prestigious college dance programs. Her staff is very thorough in providing the best for their students day in and day out!!

The Academy and staff is amazing. My dancer has learned so much throughout the several years she has been here. She loves all of the teachers and they are all very encouraging and optimistic! Her fellow dancers are very supportive of each other, too. We love The Academy and Company and love the time that they devote to each student!!

My daughters started dancing with Miss Suzann and Mr Casey from the age of 3. The education, memories, friendships and dedication to a beautiful art will never be forgotten. Central Indiana Academy of Dance is truly a blessing for any person wishing to pursue dance and I highly recommend it. My daughter graduated from HS and is currently studying dance in her junior year at the University of SC. Thank you CIAOD for all the skills and preparation provided to ensure success in her future. A++++
