Cedric James is a graduate of SUNY Purchase where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Performance. He’s an avid performer, dance teacher, and accomplished choreographer with work history including productions at The CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, Arlington High School, Dutchess Community College, and Rhinebeck High School. Cedric’s primary dance style is contemporary, but he instructs a variety of genres including hip hop and jazz. Having a background in musical theatre and colorguard, he nurtures students’ abilities to step outside of their comfort zone and perform dance with full focused intention. His goal for his students is to understand and recognize that every body is different, but each dancer has the ability to unlock their potential and explore their artistry to the fullest.
