Testimonials
Hear From Our Families
We have been a Cavod family for 11 years. Our family thinks of Cavod as their second home. We love the Christian environment and it brings us comfort in knowing our children are safe and the music, costumes and choreography is tasteful. Our children feel loved, encouraged, inspired and supported by their instructors. I love how Cavod has created a safe place where their students can express their God given talents and feel loved.
Rene M.CAVOD is a performing arts school & community theatre like no other! The opportunities available- all under one roof- are a gift and a blessing to all who come through their doors. Their theatre productions will leave you breathless. Telling stories worth telling, such as Anastasia, CAVOD brings timeless tales and truths to the stage, reminding us all that light and hope triumph over the darkness.
Justin & Shana B.The teachers are top notch. They know their craft, and they are so full of love and patience and an eagerness to share what they know with their students. Our girls come out of each class excited to show us what they’ve learned and how much they’ve progressed. We feel so blessed to have a place where our daughters can learn and grow in what they love and not have to worry about what they are learning.
Andrea L.I am so happy to have found Cavod, a place I can trust with the amazing gift of dance as worship and expression of who God made each one to be! I’m 51 years old and I decided to try a dance class for the first time: worship dance. My daughter is 18 and she started various dance classes at Cavod when she was 16. Thank you Cavod for welcoming every age group.
