ADA offers amazing and varied training, outstanding instructors, and a nurturing environment where dancers are encouraged and celebrated as individuals. My two daughters found a special home
at ADA for over 15 years. They will never forget the friendships, life lessons and joy they found there. The arts will forever be a special part of all of our lives because of ADAs positive influence. ADA gives dancers the opportunity to train in classical ballet and perform in a beautiful Nutcracker production each year, as well the chance to perform in other dance genres with their competitive dance teams

We LOVE academy of dance arts! Being new to Texas many years ago, we visited many studios before joining ADA. Training and choreography was top notch, dances and costumes were always age appropriate, award winning competition teams are available for multiple age groups, and the annual nutcracker ballet was a family tradition!
We were happy to have found a dance home for our 2 daughters for 11 years until they graduated high school.
Thank you ADA for many wonderful years of performances!

My daughter has danced at ADA for 12 years. We have loved the studio and all of her teachers throughout the whole time. She is now preparing to go to college to study dance and ADA was instrumental in preparing her for a dance future. It is a great group of parents and an even better group of young dancers.

Academy of Dance Arts is an excellent studio in North Dallas. They provide quality dance training from day one to create a whole bodied, intelligent, technically correct, and charismatic dancer ready for a professional career in dance and/or college submissions with dance scholarships to help your child become the leader and success you wish for their life. If your child wants to dance, I highly recommend investing your time and energy with Ms. Kathy, Ms. Megan, and their incredible staff that make Academy of Dance Arts.

My 6 yr old daughter recently saw the movie leap and asked to take dance lessons afterwards. Of course I said yes, what dad wouldn't. I asked around and several people said ADA was the absolute best. It is a 45min drive from our house but I can say it has been worth it. The other parents have been so nice and the staff is wonderful. Nothing but pure daddy joy seeing her dance.

ADA is extremely family friendly and offers top notch instruction. My two girls have danced with ADA for two years and have experienced nothing but professionalism from the staff, and have grown immensely in their dance technique. We chose ADA because they are a ballet centered studio. When we go to competition our dancers stand out as a class act because they always have age appropriate costumes and choreography. Our favorite part of the year is Nutcracker! ADA offers the highest level of competition and recreational dance instruction.

My daughter has been taking dance at Academy of Dance Arts for 8 years. We moved to this studio after hearing wonderful reviews from older friends. ADA has an outstanding reputation for technique. Initially, my daughter took rec classes and participated in the studio's annual performance of the Nutcracker. As she progressed, she decided to also join the competition team. She has grown immensely, not just in dance ability, but also confidence and maturity. The teachers and students become family. I highly recommend Academy of Dance Arts if you are looking for a fantastic studio with a 31 year
