Academy For the Performing Arts

"Wonderful establishment to send your kids for dance in the quad cities. Ms Tammy and her team are very organized. My 3 and 5 yr old both had a great time here. Ms Brittney was an absolute gem with the creative movement class for 2-3 yr olds."

"My girls love dancing at the Academy for the Performing Arts! We are going on 5 years for my oldest daughter & 4 years for my youngest! Isabel started at 3 & Elsa at 2! We love the staff & have always felt like the communication has been wonderful between staff & parents! I feel each dance teacher we’ve had is personally invested in making sure my girls learn technique as well as style & performance!! We love being a part of AFTPA!! To many more years....."

"My daughter has been dancing at the academy for over a year. First she joined the recreation dance class with the awesome Miss Brandy, and then for the competition team with Miss Tammy. All the teachers are awesome and really enjoy teaching the girls to dance, I even signed my son up this year with Miss Elizabeth for hip hop. Lots of different dance classes to pick from too! My daughter has learned a lot about dance, and enjoys coming to class, she’s also made some great friendships too. Great school and great teachers."

"My daughter did two years of the rec dance at The Academy and learned a tremendous amount. Her love for dance has also grown. She now has graduated to "The Company" (competition squad at the Academy). One of the major reasons for my daughter continued progress and successes is largely due to the professionalism of the Academy and consistent support and encouragement of the entire staff and in particular Miss Tammy!"

"we love going to AFTPA! We started at another dance studio in the QC and my daughter was not having any fun. We moved to AFTPA when she was 2.5 and there are perfect classes to introduce little ones to dance (fun music & more relaxed). My 4 year old is now on the dance team for the studio and absolutely loves it! She gets so upset if she has to miss a day or during the couple weeks of summer break she took! Miss Tammy absolutely loves the girls and she makes it so fun for everyone. We have loved all the other teachers as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking to put their child in dance classes around the QC!"
