Focused Instruction That Fuels Progress and Confidence
Private Lessons give dancers a space to focus on what matters most to them—whether it’s prepping for a performance, improving a specific skill, or reaching a personal milestone. Each session builds trust, clarity, and measurable progress.
Skills
Acrobatics combines fun with function—teaching dancers tumbling and tricks that develop strength, coordination, and balance. Every new move boosts their ability to perform with control and confidence.
Elevate Classes help dancers refine the details that set strong performers apart—flexibility, turns, leaps, and full-body control. The work they do here supports clean technique and noticeable improvement across all dance styles.
Support That Helps Dancers Grow Stronger, Sharper, and More Confident
Specialty Classes are designed to give dancers the tools they need to progress with purpose. Acrobatics adds energy and challenge through tumbling and tricks that improve strength, balance, and coordination—skills that make a big impact on stage. Private Lessons offer personal coaching to help dancers reach individual goals, whether refining technique, preparing for a performance, or celebrating a key milestone. Elevate Classes focus on the technical details—like flexibility, turns, and leaps—using conditioning to help dancers build control and improve across every style. Each class offers the focused support dancers need to grow in skill and confidence.
What Keeps Families Coming Back to Academy of Dance
Families juggle a lot, and we get that. With flexible class times and multiple levels available, it’s easy to keep everyone on track—whether managing school, work, or siblings with different needs.
Every dancer is welcomed by name and supported every step of the way. Our instructors focus on age-appropriate instruction, safety, and positive reinforcement—so students feel confident trying new things and growing at their own pace.
Academy of Dance is more than a class—it’s a place to belong. Dancers build lasting friendships, parents find connection, and families experience a welcoming environment where everyone feels included and encouraged.
What Sets Specialty Classes Apart from Standard Programs
Not all extracurriculars are created with your child’s growth in mind. Here's how our Specialty Classes—Private Lessons, Acrobatics, and Elevate—offer more meaningful benefits than traditional gyms, general group classes, or recreational sports programs.
Most group programs follow a one-size-fits-all model, offering little individual feedback or growth tracking.
Rec sports and gym classes focus on general fitness without developing performance-level technique.
Technique is often overlooked, leading to limited progress or bad habits.
Large, rotating class groups often lack the mentorship and connection kids need.
One-on-one sessions help dancers reach their own goals—whether fine-tuning technique, preparing for a performance, or hitting a new milestone.
Tumbling, balance, and coordination drills translate into exciting, crowd-pleasing tricks that build real confidence and strength.
Dancers improve flexibility, turns, leaps, and control with conditioning that sharpens skills across ballet, jazz, and more.
Instructors know dancers by name and nurture a positive, inclusive environment where growth is encouraged and effort is celebrated.
Supporting Every Dancer’s Growth with Focused, Purposeful Training
Our Specialty Classes give dancers the focused support they need to grow into confident, capable performers. In Private Lessons, dancers receive personalized coaching tailored to their unique goals—whether it’s refining technique, preparing for a big performance, or reaching a new milestone. Acrobatics adds exciting energy with tumbling and tricks that develop strength, coordination, and show-stopping stage skills. Elevate Classes provide conditioning that sharpens flexibility, turns, leaps, and control, helping dancers improve their overall technique across all styles. Each class is structured to meet dancers where they are and guide them forward with intention, clarity, and encouragement.
Conditioning That Prepares Dancers to Perform at Their Best
Conditioning is an essential part of growth across all our Specialty Classes. Whether it’s building core strength for tumbling in Acrobatics, increasing flexibility and control in Elevate Classes, or supporting precise technique in Private Lessons, every dancer benefits from intentional physical training. These sessions are designed to improve alignment, build endurance, and develop full-body awareness—all while reinforcing safe movement patterns that support progress and reduce injury risk. From beginner basics to advanced leaps and turns, dancers gain the physical foundation they need to move with control, stability, and purpose—on stage and in every style they pursue.
Building Resilience Through Purposeful Challenges
Across all Specialty Classes, dancers are encouraged to push through challenges with focus, determination, and support. In Acrobatics, mastering tumbling and tricks takes time, patience, and perseverance—skills that build confidence with each breakthrough. In Elevate Classes, technical work requires consistency and attention to detail, helping dancers strengthen not just their bodies, but their mindset. In Private Lessons, personal goals often bring moments of frustration that turn into meaningful victories. Through every attempt and correction, dancers learn to stay motivated, problem-solve, and trust the process. These experiences teach more than technique—they foster grit, accountability, and a belief in their ability to overcome obstacles, both on stage and in life.
Confidence That Shines Through Performance Success
Performances aren’t just about the spotlight—they’re about recognizing effort, progress, and personal growth. In Acrobatics, dancers showcase the strength and control developed through months of focused skill-building. In Elevate Classes, clean lines, sharp turns, and powerful leaps reflect the hard work behind the scenes. Dancers in Private Lessons often prepare for solo moments or specific roles, using performance as a chance to apply what they’ve learned with confidence. Whether it’s their first recital or a milestone routine, taking the stage builds self-esteem, strengthens stage presence, and helps dancers feel proud of their achievements. These moments create lasting memories and reinforce the joy of growth through dance.

Academy of Dance Warner Robins creates a wonderful environment for building dance technique and confidence in kids. They really go above and beyond!
Oh my gosh! What a fun time your child will have here. Learning with a staff that is both experienced and nurturing, you won’t be disappointed!
This is a great studio with an amazing staff that really cares about all of their students.
Academy of Dance has the best teachers and families! My daughter has made so many memories and new friendships there since we moved to the Warner Robins area last summer. 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!
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!
My daughter has been dancing with them for a year and a half and loves it! I’m excited for the next year 🥰
I love everything about AOD! All of the teachers are phenomenal and really strive to make sure the dancers reach their potential! my girls love it there and love the friendships they have made!!
Absolutely love it!! My two year old just started with Karen’s class and she is amazing with the kids and my daughter has so much fun. It’s teaching her to work well with the other kids and she is loving to dance more and more everyday. Absolutely recommend it.
New to the dance life but it is definitely something that my daughter looks forward to every week. We drive almost an hour one way to come to this dance academy. 😁
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. The teachers (dance instructors) are awesome at teaching and actually helping them improve and explain the dances and different types.
So far I am super impressed! Most dance studios typically are filled with people who have little patience for those who love it but don't have tons of training...or so it has felt like to us until now. 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 place for students of all ages with caring staff.
Amazing studio with caring, expert teachers....all focus on your child!
This is our third year with Academy of Dance. The family feel, gifted dance instructors, and age-appropriate choreography are what keep us coming back every year.
My 11 year old daughter absolutely loved her time here. We are a military family and have sadly since relocated. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a studio that makes you feel like family. My baby was brand new to dance and they made her feel very welcome.
We absolutely love AoD! A great staff and wonderful teachers. Our daughter is growing not only as a dancer but as well as learning listening skills and manners. You learn so much more than just dance at AoD!
My 2 year old started dance with Ms. Karen in the toddler class and LOVED it! We had so much fun on Saturdays and she still practices on her own. If we still lived in the area, we would absolutely be continuing her dance experience at Academy of Dance. I highly recommend this studio!
I’ve been dancing at AOD since I was 10 years old. I started dancing more intensively as a teen and getting really involved with everything at the studio. I was on company, performing around middle Georgia, and traveling to compete for years. Academy of Dance is where I met all of my best friends, who I’m still close to, even after graduating four years ago. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to grow up at. The teachers I’ve had over the years have all been amazing and they not only taught me how to dance, but how to be an amazing person. I started teaching dance after high school and became a certified instructor. I love the environment I’m able to work in, with a supportive boss and wonderful students! Academy of Dance really has given me a second family and I couldn’t be more grateful for it!
I started dancing at the Academy of Dance at age 4, and fell completely in love with dance and the staff! I was given so many opportunities to grow as a person and an artist at AOD, and am forever grateful to the staff for making me feel loved and supported enough to step outside of my comfort zone at least once a week! I’m now a professional dancer and choreographer in the Nashville area, but my teaching and choreography has gained the attention of studio owners all across the U.S.
I want to give a special thanks to the owner and director, Kim Rowley, for seeing something special in me and my ability to teach and choreograph, and for providing me with opportunities that have shaped me into the person I am!
Academy of Dance has been so accommodating to my girls, one of them who has ADHD. The teachers are excellent especially Mrs.Nina who works great with my daughter. The staff are so friendly and seem to genuinely care about the students.
The dance teachers are amazing. They not only teach dance but also how to treat others and instill good manners. My daughters teacher was amazing when she had a complete meltdown. She was patient, calm, and helped her work through it. Everyone treats you and your little one as family there and help you with anything you may need.
My daughters have been dancing at the Academy of dance in Warner Robins for for 3 years now and have loved every minute of it! The teachers and staff are very warm, patient, and knowledgeable in their fields. It's more than just a dance studio, it's another home and another family!
My daughter started dancing here at the age of 2 when we moved to Houston Co. She’s now 5 years old and absolutely LOVES to dance! She’ll start Tap & Ballet this season and we’re equally excited about it! She performed in the recital this past June & the entire family was able to see how confident she is when dancing! Ms. Kim is always caring & nice & she’s so gentle & kind with the kids.
Academy of Dance has been a second family to us for thirteen years. The director Kim Rowley and all the dance instructors have lovingly nurtured my daughter and helped shape her into a talented young woman with a passion for excellence, not only in dance, but in life. Their focus on proper dance technique and terminology has given my daughter the skills and drive to take her confidently into studying dance at the collegiate and professional level.
