About Us

History of CDDS coming soon...

The Carolyn Dutra Dance Studio is a staple of dance education in the Southern New England community. Miss Carolyn Dutra, a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette, has been educating, inspiring and leading students through dance, while encouraging kindness, tolerance and unity. CDDS is an inclusive studio and all children are welcome here. As a performance based school with a community involvement focus, our dancers participate in various community events, in addition to our own Winter Holiday and June Recital productions.

CDDS dancers have gone on to become Radio City Music Hall Rockettes and performers, cruiseline dancers, television and film actors, models, singers, professional dance team members, doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, policewomen, newscasters, meteorologists, many returning as facilty, and so much more! Miss Carolyn is proud of every one of her students. She wishes for them to all live their lives to the fullest, with kindness in their hearts and integrity in their character.

Once a Carolyn Dutra Dancer, always a Carolyn Dutra Dancer.
