Alton Dance Academy 7 School Street, Alton, NH 03809

"My child has danced here for 10 years. I couldn't find a better studio if I tried! The staff is professional, helpful, organized and amazing. The communication is incredible. Ashley and her staff are some of the most hardest working individuals I've ever met. They truly love and support each child. My child refers to dance as her safe place, and Ashley is one of her favorite people. We are lucky to have such an amazing community resource. ADA is a gem. Every show is production quality and we go to every single show joyfully and gratefully. The music is incredible, the choreography is next level and the show always melts my heart. The talent shines on and off the stage. It truly is more than dance studio. Thank you ADA!!"

"ADA is the premier dance studio in the Lakes Region of NH. I attended fitness classes when I lived in the area and enrolled my daughter in beginner dance and summer princess camps. Ashley is organized, communicative and excellent at her craft. The students love her and often come back to visit after they’ve moved on. She is the ultimate professional and her recitals are incredible. Look no further than Alton Dance Academy!"

"The gem of Alton, NH. You won't find a more welcoming, positive dance studio that truly lives up to its reputation of #morethanadancestudio. They offer a wide range of classes from littles to big kids and even adult exercise classes like Zumba. Every single teacher and instructor are top notch in experience, talent, and creativity - and they are genuine wonderful human beings who care about their students. The owner and Creative Director has unmatched creativity and vision which drives the whole studio direction. Her recitals are unlike any other - in a class by itself - full productions with a central story theme with important symbolic meaning in each and every dance and music choice. She teachers her students inclusivity, instills confidence and family values in all of her students. With more than 15 years behind her in Alton, the studio is a well-oiled machine, very organized, and communicates well throughout the year so parents are informed. Through the pandemic, Ashley and her team rose up through challenges and still kept our children dancing, smiling and put on amazing shows. ADA is one of the reasons our family has stayed rooted in this town. We are blessed to have them in our lives."

"I wanted to update my 5 star rating of ADA from 2021- if I could give this institute 10 stars, I would. This is such a welcoming and inclusive community and I feel so grateful to have a dance studio like ADA for my children to attend. The communication with the owner/artistic director is open and clear- she is great about keeping parents informed via email and social media. The instructors are very knowledgeable about the forms of dance they teach to their students, but they go above and beyond teaching dance. Their teachers really get to know each kid and help them realize their potential, on stage and off. I have seen so much growth in confidence for my own children and have heard similar feelings expressed from others in this community. The performances put on by ADA are nothing short of stellar. You can see the amount of hard work from all involved and it amounts to a very entertaining story told through dance. I feel that we are very lucky to have ADA in our town and it's no surprise to me that their motto is "more than a dance studio" because it truly is, for so many families."

"I can't say enough good things about Alton Dance Academy. The owner and all staff are amazing, caring, and helpful. My children have been students here for 13 years and I wouldn't take them anywhere else. I drive a significant distance to take them and there are several alternatives closer to me. The studio offers a wide variety of dance classes and styles, as well as opportunities for advanced students to become members of the NHSDA. Each recital is a work of art. My girls have learned creativity, artistic expression, grit, hard work, resilience, friendship, family, and community from ADA. Thank you for all that you do, ADA!"
