Chesterfield Dance Center is now a YPAD certified STUDIO! 

YPAD is the nation’s only dance certification program focusing on both safety and wellness for dance students. To earn the designation, studios must complete two training tracks. The first track centers on dance safety and educational best practices. It focuses on background checks, CPR and First Aid, abuse awareness and prevention, injury prevention and response, and safety and emergency preparedness. The second focuses on the wellness and development of youth dancers and covers social media, social media safety, today’s dance culture, developmentally appropriate artistry, body image, nutrition, disordered eating, bullying, and conflict resolution. Only studios that complete both tracks are eligible for certification. Along with their live, online training course, they also completed their certification by the American Red Cross in Adult and Pediatric CPR/First Aid and underwent background checks to ensure their commitment to protecting their students.
