About Civic Dance Center

Civic Dance Center, located in Bakersfield, California, has been a cornerstone of the community since its founding in 1968 by Cindy Trueblood. Dedicated to nurturing well-rounded dancers, the studio offers a comprehensive dance education for students of all ages and levels, with a strong emphasis on classical ballet technique. Our diverse curriculum encompasses a wide array of styles, including Ballet, Contemporary Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Tap, Musical Theater, and Ballroom dance, with Zumba also noted. Under the artistic direction of Alicia Angelini, a graduate of UC Irvine with a B.A. in Dance and an alumna of Civic Dance Center, students train under experienced and passionate instructors. Erica Ueberroth serves as Executive Artistic Director, supported by Ann Conrad as Associate Artistic Director and Alicia Angelini as Director of Jazz, continuing a tradition of excellence. Civic Dance Center boasts three state-of-the-art studios featuring sprung wood floors engineered to safeguard against injuries. The studio's rich legacy includes numerous accolades, the Bakersfield Centennial Dance Award, and a quarter-century of commitment to the arts. A long-standing tradition is their annual Nutcracker Ballet performance with the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra, a collaboration dating back to 1978. We foster a constructive environment that upholds values of discipline, imagination, and collaboration, encouraging professionalism, kindness, and respect. Meaningful performance opportunities are provided throughout the year to enhance artistic growth, build confidence, and cultivate a strong sense of community.
