"Our success comes from knowing that we have made a difference in the lives of the children we teach"

“….ADA is a fine dancing establishment that not only teaches dance, but team work and character.  I would be a totally different person if I hadn’t gone to a place with so much stress on moral value.  I guess what I’m trying to say is just thanks.  For everything.  You’ve made all the difference in my life.” ~High School Dancer.

Thank you for inquiring about or rejoining us here at American Dance Academy.  I hope that we will be able to work together to enjoy the wonderful art of dance!  I pledge to continue our high standards of excellence in dance education.  Thank you for your interest.  Please call us at 302-234-9900 with any additional questions about our program.

For over a decade the American Dance Academy has been providing students
of all ages with excellent dance training.  Classes begin in September and end with a recital in June.  Summer programs are also available.  Students are taught dance technique along with socialization, use of energy, coordination, body awareness and confidence.  Basic technique classes progress into single dance steps, combinations, and eventually into complete routines.

Our state of the art facility includes 2 dance rooms complete with hardwood sprung dance floors and high ceilings, a large waiting room with 36” flat screen viewing monitors for each dance room, and a student lounge in the back where older students can relax, do homework and prepare for their classes.

American Dance Academy has been providing students with an exciting opportunity to expand their dance training and perform in a professionally
run show-the recital. Many of you may remember these images from your
own childhood. It's a rite of passage for thousands of youngsters, a chance
to shine in front of family and friends that they anticipate with nervous excitement.

A big part of the dance training process includes learning through performance. The experience helps to build self-esteem, self-assurance and contributes to
a sense of confidence. Performance opportunities also contribute to success
in various aspects of a child's non-dance activities, including better in-school presentations, better social skills, stronger interview skills for future college or job opportunities. and preparation for professional performance career.

The choreography process is a tremendous learning experience as well.  It
helps the child develop retention skills, and working with classmates to create
a group performance sets the example of the positive aspects of working as
a team to create the best end result.

The recital offers our students and their families a professionally directed performance allowing our students the opportunity to present the results of
an entire year's hard work, dedication and progress. Recitals have proven to
be a special experience children truly love and treasure through their lives.

Our 2009 Recital will be held at the DuPont Theatre in the Hotel DuPont on June 5th and 6th.

ADA proudly puts on an annual Holiday Show entitled “Spirit of the Season”.  It is a show conceived, directed and choreographed by Miss Darlene & Miss Jessica that celebrates the magic and beauty of the holiday season.  Auditions are held in September at the studio and rehearsals are held each weekend until the show in December. Participation is optional but has proven to be a wonderful and fun experience for all involved!  It is a toe tappin’, high-energy show, fun for all ages.  From Gingerbread Cookies, to Angels, to Snowmen, Elves and Santa’s Helpers (perhaps even Santa will show up!)- You are guaranteed to have a great time participating and/or watching our show!

It's a wonderful feature of American Dance Academy. We have special top of the line floating dance floor that is built with a special cushion for dancers. We put the floor in the studio to help prevent injury and to help dancers work on attaining height in jumps and leaps.
