From the reviews
My 9 year old started dancing with AOD when she was 2 years old and even though she recently decided to step away from dance, leaving this studio was bittersweet. We have nothing but love and gratitude for the experiences, friendships, and confidence she gained here.
We love Academy of Dance! My girls enjoy going to every dance class and love all the different styles, and they are getting the technique they need to grow and succeed at conventions, competitions, classes, and to reach their future dance goals.
We absolutely LOVE this studio, my daughter started there Almost 5 years ago and they have treated her with kindness, respectfulness, compassion. The list goes on. The instructors are top notch and really care about all the dancers 👯♀️.
We've been here for 3 years and absolutely LOVE it! The studio, the staff, the teachers, everyone is amazing. My daughter feels challenged, and loved and respected. She's made friends for life! My son took classes here for a year too before he started sports. Absolutely 10/10 recommend Academy of Dance!
Your first ballet class at Academy of Dance - Professional Dance Instruction Since 1997
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.
