Classes are available for ages 2 and up.  A Mommy and Me dance class is offered for children age 2-3.  Classes for ages 3-6 (called PSI, PSII and CHILD-depending on level of experience) are offered and consist of ½ hr of ballet and ½ hr of tap.  When children are 6 they can take a ½ hr jazz class along with their ballet and tap class (called Elem I, II or III).  All level classes run 45 minute or more ballet and jazz classes and ½ hr or more tap classes.  A pre-Pointe and Pointe class is available for those students who are physically ready and approved by our teachers.  Hip Hop classes are available for ages 5 and up. Our competitive intensive dance company is available for those dedicated students whom posses strong technique and excellent performance skills (see Dance Company page)

Classes begin in September and will end with a recital in June. 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 June.

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.
