American Dance Academy

"My daughter danced at ADA from middle school through her high school years. I appreciate their focus on proper technique, exposure to different styles of dance, and also building strength and confidence. Dancing on company, she found a second home of supportive and positive friends and instructors. We have loved our years at ADA!"

"My daughter had a great experience at ADA. From a first time beginner to seasoned pro, this dance studio is uniformly supportive. The girls in the classes are nice (not "mean girls") and the performance was great. One of my biggest pet peeves for children's dance programs is the over-sexualization of young teens with their dancing. There was very little overly suggestive choreography which I appreciate. My daughter's class challenged them to just the right level and she had a fun time doing it. The owners, front desk and support crew are SO nice."

"American Dance Academy (ADA) is the BEST dance studio in the area! The love & support that Darlene and all the instructors show my girl is beyond measure. It’s a place where skills are developed/sharpened and dancers learn to balance discipline and fun, no matter their age. We love the way ADA gives our girl confidence in being a part of something so special."

"So grateful for this studio, the owner, and all the teachers. This is a supportive studio, where the dancers seem like family. My young daughter always feels like she’s accepted by her peers and the “big girls”, and the support gives her a huge boost of confidence. In addition to teaching solid foundations in dance and providing opportunities to learn by literally dancing with the stars, American Dance Academy teaches students to listen, to lead, and to be team players. Most importantly, the philosophy here seems to be that everyone should have FUN and enjoy what they do while being challenged to do their best. A HUGE thanks to every teacher and student helper there! I can’t say enough how much I believe this studio knows how to prioritize what kids need to grow through the activity they love."

"My HS Senior started dancing at ADA at age 8 after leaving another studio for quality reasons. She is a member of the company and ADA has become her second family. While they are technically a competition studio, and are very successful in that respect, they always put the health and safety of their dancers first. They focus on perfecting technique and proper strength and stretching rather than just drilling flashy choreography. And if all you want is a little bit of dance, all of the teachers are great! We especially love the ballet master. I highly recommend ADA!"
