"Heading into my senior year at AAD, I was at first skeptical about all of the big changes being made. However, all of those feelings were immediately put to ease once I walked through the door. The atmosphere at AAD is one that promotes hard work and determination while cultivating strong relationships and a love for dance. I am looking forward to seeing how this atmosphere continues to grow throughout my last year at AAD as well as how it will flourish in years to come. All in all, I am beyond excited to see where this year will take me"!
RachelAAD Senior 
“I love AAD because I like to dance with my friends and Mrs. Renee and Ms. Jodie. I love wearing my costumes and learning new dances!”
JosiePreschool Dancer 
"American Academy of dance is my favorite place to be! I love dancing with all of my friends, learning fun new choreography, and becoming a better dancer. My best friends all dance with me and I wouldn't be the dancer I am today without them or my teachers. Junior Co, Let's go!""
EllaJunior Company 
"American Academy of Dance is truly a second "home" for my dance loving girls. For over 10 plus years, it is where my girls not only learn to dream big, set goals and work hard, but where some of their closest friendships and forever lasting memories happen. The staff and teachers are truly invested in helping them to become their best version of themselves in and out of the studio. I am incredibly thankful not only for the outstanding dance training that they receive but for the relationships they have with their teachers and teammates. AAD is not only helping to shape them as strong and talented dancers but is giving them a place that helps them to grow as individuals and learn important life skills for their future. AAD is so much more than simply a dance studio and I am forever grateful for our dance family!"
