Inclusive programming for all ages and abilities includes Nurturing Baby, Caregiver/Toddler, Caregiver/Child, Early Childhood, Children and Teen, and Adult classes, including classes for seniors/elders, and Adaptive BrainDance for youth and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Classes include creative dance, modern, ballet, and hip hop. Summer programming included multi-arts camps and a Teen Intensive sharing culturally diverse dance forms. Educator/Community Workshops offered professional development and personal enrichment for adults. CDC began sharing free dance with Mary's Place in 2016 - Mary's Place provides shelter and helps women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. A CDC teaching artist brought dance to children in two Mary's Place locations as part of their Tots and Kids Clubs programming, which aims to reduce trauma and provide a safe place for children. Creative Dance Center is on the Community Arts Roster for the Creative Advantage, a partnership of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Public Schools. During the 2024-2025 school year, CDC partnered with Wedgwood and Bryant Elementary schools, and CDC teaching artists taught dance to grades K-5 through the Creative Advantage program. CDC also provided weekly dance classes to grades K-1 during the school year at the French American School of Puget Sound.
