Why Families Choose Dance at the Academy
Here are 3 reasons why The Academy of Music and Art is the right choice for Dance Classes.
1. Smaller Class Sizes
Smaller classes allow teachers to give dancers more individual attention and help each student progress.
2. Age-Appropriate Music & Costumes
We believe children's dance should stay fun and age appropriate. Our classes use clean music and modest costumes.
3 . Dance Floors Designed for Dancers
Our dance studios feature raised dance floors designed to provide a more appropriate surface for dancers than dancing directly over hard concrete.
Where Music & Dance Come Together
|
At the Academy, students don't always have to choose between singing and dancing.
Some of our most unique classes combine music, voice, dance and performance into one experience. Our Pop Star and Broadway Bound classes give students the opportunity to learn choreography while also developing their singing and performance skills. Students get to sing and dance to music they love—from pop and K-Pop to Broadway and musical theatre. It's one of the advantages of being part of an Academy that teaches music, dance and theatre all under one roof. One class. Singing, dancing and performing—all together. |
