Powered by GoogleMy daughter is currently 15 and has been at ADA for two years entering into her third year. She has taken dance since she was two years old, however we were at a different studio. And let me first say that there was nothing wrong there and I am not here to bash another company. I would like to say that in our opinion we wished we had started at ADA. The first reason for us is that they are Christ centered! Mrs. Patricia, Mrs. Tara and their staff love on these children and the children support and encouragement one another! My daughter is not as outgoing so when she first started at ADA she would walk into the class head looking down, not really sure of herself or anyone else. Today, she is confident! She talks to others that she doesn't even know! She is a different girl than she was two years ago. We have also taken private lessons in the summer for one on one and to help in her training. Secondly but even as important, she has learned more here regarding technique and physics regarding her body and the art. Every teacher here is going to support your child, train your child, condition your child and most importantly poor love into them. Thank you to her teachers, Ms P, Mr. Josh (we miss you), Ms. Jillian and Ms. Tara (we are excited this year to be in one of your classes). Thank you to all the ADA teachers for your continued support in our children not just teaching them dance but so much more! You don't realize the impact that you all have but let me tell you that it matters! The way you treat these children and train the teachers in how to pour into our children it matters. Thank you!
Family environment Age appropriate costumes Professionally trained Directors Loving staff Hard working kids & This is just the tip of the iceberg! Artistic Dance Acadamy is the dance family everyone needs!
What a wonderful, Christ-focused environment! Excellent teachers, the director is very kind and talented, and the studio is clean and beautifully designed. My three-year-old has tried other dance classes, but this one has been the best fit for her. I would highly recommend it!

A God-centered, first class studio. Amazing & anoited instructors. ADA is a "family" ministering to one another through dance, prayer, encouragement, & support.
