Not all programs address form, injury prevention, or proper technique—especially for younger ages.
Your child learns to control, coordinate, and express through movement—gaining more than just exercise.
With Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Acro, each session keeps your child engaged, curious, and excited to return.

We feel welcomed here and my daughter absolutely loves it! we look forward to each week's class. She loves music and dance but her Confidence in her dancing ability was not great. Now when I tell her she dances well she believes me because her Confidence has grown tremendously.
This is a great studio with an amazing staff that really cares about all of their students.
We LOVE AOD!!! The 30/30 tap and ballet class is perfect for beginner dancers! My daughter has learned so much in such a short amount of time, French vocabulary, names of steps, etc. Owner, staff, and teachers are all great and truly love what they do!

Thank you to all the amazing teachers that provide quality dance instruction in a positive and encouraging environment. We're so glad we found AoD!
My granddaughter loves Miss Kim and the friends she’s made.
Everyone here is so great! They make sure every one feels welcome. My daughter is going on 6 years here. She started when she was 5, she is now 11 and grows to love it more and more each year.
