Dancers need to be in the rehearsal area-ready to dance (full hair, make up and costume) one hour prior to their posted stage time. Class moms will be with them until a teacher arrives.
Dancers’ progress and attendance is noted throughout the year. Once choreography for the routines begin, the progress and attendance is even more vital. Any dancer falling behind will be “put on notice”. They will have 2 weeks to show progress or they will receive another “notice”. Anyone still on “notice” during competition time will not be able to participate and fees are non-refundable. Regular attendance and consistent practice will build confidence in your student and contribute to a healthy dance experience. Students missing classes due to family vacations may also fall behind. Communication with your instructor prior to your trip may avoid any unnecessary consequences afterwards. Decisions to put a student o notice will not be taken lightly!!
Solos / Duets Guidelines
Dancers are chosen by Miss Susan. Criteria for selection includes: a strong technical base in the area of solo selection, a true love of dance, regular attendance, hard work in class, enthusiasm and most important, a positive attitude. Selection for this is a privilege.
My kids love going to their dance classes. They work hard and have fun! Everyone is kind and supportive. Choreography, costumes, and music selections are age appropriate. Instruction is scaffolded so that by the end of the year, students come so far even when they are considered beginners. Amazing!

Miss Susan’s love for dance and all her students are what keep families coming back year after year. She renewed my daughters love of dance with her encouraging words, warmth, and love of dance. She continuously encourages dancers of all genres to have fun and makes them believe they are amazing no matter what their skill levels are. ADA is your studio of choice if you want your child to develop skills, friendships, and the courage to do anything they want.

Miss Susan’s love for her students and her love for dance shines as brightly as her smile!

My daughter loved the dance classes ! Such a warm and inviting space. Despite her anxiety and shyness, she really enjoyed everything. She made new friends, sheovercame her shyness and the activities increased her mobility. As well, the recital was a beautiful first for us both, and truly was a confidence building experience ! As a momma of four, three of them boys, it was absolutely a wonderful experience ????
