Carroll County Dance Center was established 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 21 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.
