( perfect timing) Saw the passion in the instructor who was teaching the class for small girls by their window. Walked in and asked questions. Friendly staff! We signed up for the week pass. My daughter loved it. They're kind, patient and you can tell that teaching children is their passion. The owner is extremely involved in customer satisfaction, is patient and answers all of your questions. It's also very price friendly. Their packages are awesome. We signed up my daughter for classes twice weekly at only $115 monthly. Their registration was only $60 which includes her entire uniform. ( yes even shoes) She's only been there for one week and I can tell she's learned a lot. I highly recommend this place.

I learned so much in every single class I took. In university at USF I took a semester of ballet and the teacher complimented my technique as being the best one in the class, all thanks to the wonderful education I received at academy of arts. Now in 2025 my 3 year old daughter is taking classes and is enjoying every class. My mother, daughter and I recently went to the Christmas show and we were so proud to experience the show. It was such a great show, still professional and beautiful. 13 years later and Academy of Arts is still producing wonderful dancers. I highly recommend this studio to all dancers and artists who are eager to learn and perfect their craft.

This is a full dance school that offers: Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Pas De Deux, Lyrical, Tap, Hip-Hop, Flamenco, Modern Dance, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Drama, Piano, Guitar, Violin, and Voice. The faculty is certified and have led professional careers in their respective areas of creative expertise. They begin laying a foundation from the preschool years all the way to young adulthood. And they have both female and male students. They also offer an AfterSchool program and work your child's classes at a mutually suitable schedule. The cost of the classes is comparable to other dance academies. I have enjoyed closely watching the development in my niece, as well as in many of her close friends. I also look forward to their professionally-mounted recitals every year.
