CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:

3/22/20 Greetings ADA family!

I hope everyone is doing well during these trying times.  It’s amazing how quickly things change and once again they have taken a big turn.  During these times of uncertainty, please know that I was already working on a backup recital date (along with some other things below) and due to today’s recent development of schools being closed until May 15^th https://coronavirus.delaware.gov/resources-for-businesses/ that will definitely need to happen.  Stay tuned for more info on that.   Rest assured that there WILL be a recital and once that date is announced I will let everyone know how we will get our final 2 months of classes done.  Tuition will not be charged until that plan is made and announced.  

I have also implemented a new page on our website that is currently being designed in which I will place all recital practice videos as I know it’s hard to search through the Facebook group pages for just them.  I will continue to place workouts etc on those Facebook group pages this week.  Once the new page on our website is up and running this week I'll send out the info on how to get to that.

Tomorrow I will be at the studio from 2-4 if anyone would like to pick up their costumes before all businesses are required to close. 

Stay safe and healthy and I’ll be in touch with our game plan as soon as I have a new recital date.  Thank you for your support and understanding during these trying times.  My staff and I have loved seeing all the videos, pictures etc.  Please keep them coming!!  We miss you all!!  Sending all our dancers so much love!!

~Miss Darlene

SPRING CLASSES AT ADA: 

NOTE:  WEE DANCE EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 20TH

NOTE:  ADULT BALLET BONUS DAY ON MAY 16TH

Our WEE Dance is a fun and creative class for Mommy (or Daddy/caregiver) and a tot. It is designed to help aid in the wonderful development of skills appropriate for a 2 year old. For this reason our class uses a parent or caregiver to help us orient the child into a classroom setting encouraging the development of fine and gross motor skills. These skills are developed through the use of music, dance, and constant support of those who love them. Along with assisting in the development of motor skills in the children we incorporate sharing, taking turns, and following directions. These aspects all lead to the development of socialization and additional necessary skills of listening and following directions to give them a great start before or while they begin pre-school.
