About Us
Your dancer’s confidence will soar as they are immersed in a nurturing, uplifting environment, surrounded by warm, caring instructors and classmates. Their creativity and artistry will blossom while learning foundational dance movements in a non-judgmental classroom, allowing them to freely express themselves with their authentic voice. Once inspired to dance from one’s inner heartstrings, they develop the ability to lead others to do the same.
The AoD strives to provide each student with the tools to not only become a confident, creative artist, but also to empower them to be able to achieve their greatest potential not only as a dancer, but as a person.

What We Believe
At the Academy of Dance, we believe dance is not only a beautiful art form, but a vehicle where students can develop life skills, self-discipline, self-respect, confidence, and self-esteem. We believe these assets will help students in any career field. We believe we can use our God-given talents to help others who may not be as blessed as we are, and we strive to Dance to Make a Difference in the lives of others. We believe we are not only educators, but aspire to inspire the next generation to become the best versions of themselves.
