Judy Carmen, (or as her toddler groupies call her "Ms. Jude"), founded Creation Station in 1992 when she recognized a great need for a quality, age appropriate, magical outlet for the youth of Los Angeles. Creation Station has been teaching all forms of dance since its inception, and has steadily grown with toddler music and movement classes, theater classes, birthday parties and camp. Creation Station currently has many locations throughout Los Angeles and New York and is in the process of expanding Nationally. For more information on "Ms. Jude" please see the Founder/Director section.

Our philosophy lies in the belief that by combining a nurturing, non-competitive environment and encouraging kids to develop their own personal, artistic, and educational strengths, allows them to tap into their imaginations in a way that is vastly different from any other traditional enrichment schools.

Because enrichment classes are unregulated in the United States anyone can open up a studio and "teach" children. That is why all of the owners and teachers of Creation Station encourage parents to shop around and try many different studios before choosing one that they feel is appropriate. We feel that rather than focus too much attention on the "style" of movement that is being taught, parents should choose classes for their children based on how the instructor works with their students. Creation Station believes that if the enrichment program is taught well, the parent should notice an improvement in their child's self esteem, coordination, focus, and cognitive skills in AND outside of class! So as you tread through the vast array of enrichment classes that are out there for children, please remember that these classes should be about discovering life and yourself through the arts because self expression is great for the body and the soul!
