From the reviews
All 4 of my girls had amazing experiences at ADFA, from the time they were toddlers. Three of them chose to leave at various points in their school years, but one chose to remain until high school graduation and go to college to dance.
The Academy of Dance and Fine Arts is an exceptional studio for recreational gym/dance, competitive dance, and performance ballet. We are so happy to have found a studio that encourages growth in a positive way. We also love that the studio gives back to the community through an annual Nutcracker benefit performance.
Fantastic staff and positive environment for dancers of all levels. All 3 of my kids, including my son, have taken classes. They do not push competition troupes, but are supportive if your child is interested. We love the ADFA family!
This dance studio has meant so much to our daughter. She’s so happy when she’s there and has so much confidence in herself now. She’s learned so much from their talented and caring instructors. Best decision ever!
Your first ballet class at Academy of Dance and Fine Arts
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
