WHO WE ARE
What is CDP?
College Dance Prep is an extensive preparation course for dancers interested in trying out for college dance teams. Know where you want to go to college? Great. We can specifically address that team's needs. Don't know where you want to go to college? Even better. We can provide the information and tools that will help guide you to the college that is the best fit for you.
With over 10 years of experience, CDP has the tools and expertise to help you make your dream college team.
How long is it?
The best part about CDP... the schedule is completely up to you! Most dancers start doing private lessons their junior year of high school, increasing frequency as tryouts get closer. Group clinics take place in the spring and summer, with registration staying limited so our dancers receive stronger individualized attention. We're about quality, not quantity.
CDP's trademarked curriculum covers every facet of the audition process- dance technique, sidelines, pom style, interview skills, and appearance and attire information are just a small piece of what CDP will cover during training.
Real Expertise
The coolest thing about CDP? CDP's founder, Natalie Chernow, is a former college AND NFL coach. Having spent five years leading the team at the University of Miami and 6 years leading the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, she knows EXACTLY what college coaches are looking for at auditions. In addition, all our our PrepMasters are current or former members of college teams, giving them a different level of understanding for teams all over the country.
