From the reviews
My daughter has been at ADA since she was 2 1/2 years old and she is now almost 11. Her love of dance has been so carefully cultivated by the amazing staff at ADA. I absolutely love watching the end-of-year recital, which is more of a Class-A production than a student recital.
As an alumni of The Academy of Dance Arts, I can proudly credit my career and more to the wonderful instruction of Sherry and Irina. I specialized in ballet and pointe, but they also offer amazing classes in hip hop, jazz, contemporary, and more!
We are very happy we found The Academy of Dance Arts and very thankful our children have had the opportunities to learn from such high caliber instructors. I recommend ADA to anyone I hear is looking for an excellent dance studio.
Our experience at The Academy of Dance Arts has been life changing for our daughter! The teachers, under the direction of founder and artistic director, Sherry Moray, are superb and offer excellent instruction in a very positive and nurturing environment.
Your first ballet class at The Academy of Dance 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.
