Classes begin in September and will end with a recital in spring. 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. Best results are accomplished when a student attends class on a regular basis, beginning in September and ending in spring.

Dance Camp, Performing Arts/Theatre Camps and Summer Intensive Classes

Includes daily dance classes, music, dance history, creative expression, terminology, nutrition, anatomy, mime, ballet videos and more!

During each session a different theme/show is presented and the dancers will create and design costumes, props and sets...and dance a Broadway Revue! At the end of the week there is a half-hour performance for family and friends. Each week is different so sign-up for as many as you like.

Summer Intensives may consist of ballet, jazz, hip-hop, modern, tap,
repertoire work, audition and resume classes, and make up and hair classes.

Dance education encompasses far more than technique or the steps your children will learn. We believe at American Dance Academy that the discipline of dance training gives young people a better understanding of commitment by offering them the chance to learn, experience the spirit of teamwork, and understand what hard work can accomplish.  Our goal is to educate the minds, bodies, and souls of our students, to teach them the skills needed for a successful life, whether or not they stay involved in dance. 

"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".
