What Does CMI Offer?
Count Me In – Our Mission
At Count Me In, our mission is simple: to provide a nurturing, fun, and safe environment where children and adults can grow through the arts. We are dedicated to offering year-round programs that focus not only on dance and performance, but also on creativity, confidence, and overall well-being for all ages and abilities.
Our studio is built on the belief that personal growth matters most. Whether you're here to dance, sing, create art, or attend an after school program, our goal is to help each student become the best version of themselves—with encouragement, positivity, and proper instruction leading the way. We value effort over perfection and celebrate progress at every level.
We foster a culture of inclusivity, kindness, and joy. And we mean it when we say: we are a NO DRAMA facility.
We take pride in creating a respectful, welcoming space for every family who walks through our doors.
At Count Me In, we inspire confidence, encourage fun, and support one another.

"This dance studio is the epitome of quality - from the professional, talented and caring instructors to the clean, safe and efficient facility. I love how all tuition fees, and upcoming recital expenses can be creatively distributed over time, thus not overwhelming any dance family. This type of effort and forward thinking is symbolic of how this facility cares for their dancers and families. I have had many dancers instructed with this group of professionals. I highly recommend this facility and their instructors!"
Tammi Hammond
"Beautiful establishment! The owners are so creative and delightful. They go above and beyond to make every detail amazing and inviting. Such a beautiful place for a gathering.
Dance classes are also available."
Connie Maks
"I can't say enough about the outstanding programs at CMI. Their staff are all great with the kids, the owner is super nice and easy to talk to, and the handle everything when it comes to costumes and recital. I have been to other studios, and this is by far the most upfront, communicative and organized dance program I have been a part of. The parents lounge is huge and has a playroom for my toddler and a kitchen to use while we wait for my daughter to finish classes. I love being able to shop in the store while I wait too, they always have great deals."
