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.

Located in a warehouse area near U.S. 27 and Johnson Street in West Pines, Academy of Arts is under…read morethe ownership and direction of Rebeca Russo-Columbo, a Cuban-American former dancer. 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.

Our daughter is closing in on completing her first year at TAME Dance Academy. She began by taking…read morea week of summer intensive in 2024, then immediately wanted another. Now here we are, a year later! She felt welcome from the very start. We were looking for a studio that really focused on technique and development, and we found so much more. Our daughter has grown incredibly - in strength, technique, performance, and confidence. Teddy, Luke, and the entire staff have created something truly special here - their passion for dance transfers to the dancers they teach. They challenge our daughter and make her dig deep within herself but do so in a way that is supportive, builds her confidence, and makes her want to work even harder. Our daughter has pushed herself well beyond comfort zone, and this studio creates a safe environment for it. Classes are structured to include conditioning and technique in addition to choreography. They focus on the best interest of the dancer and their individual development. I also appreciate how selective and intentional they are in the environments they choose for Company and Conservatory opportunities- they surround the dancers with others who appreciate dance as the art form it is, which continues to foster our daughter's passion for it in a way that motivates and inspires, but without the "hyper-competitive atmosphere" (which is hard to balance in South Florida!) We want to foster our daughter's long-term love of dance and finally found where we belong. And in addition to the studio itself, our daughter has made wonderful friendships there - I can honestly say all the dancers and their parents made us feel right at home. Probably because all the parents are looking for the same thing for our dancers! It is truly a whole-of-family approach. Parents will also appreciate the studio being clean, organized, and well appointed. Studio management communicates clearly and regularly. And I love that they have lockers, a fridge, microwave, water fill-up station, and a lounge area - dancers have long and rigorous days. It just shows you how they focus on creating an overall environment that helps dancers thrive. We couldn't be happier being at TAME - excited for year two!

That evening was a true celebration of the hard work, dedication, and artistic growth that each dancer has shown throughout the year. The New York theme brought a wonderful energy, and the entire night felt like a journey through a city of dreams and determination. Bella and I came ready for the night, and in support of her stunning outfit, I embraced my own dandyism -- a style and ethos that speaks to self-expression and quiet confidence. It was a nod to the ways we tell our stories and claim our place in the world, just as the dancers did so beautifully throughout their competitions and long hours of rehearsals. One of the most touching moments for me was when Bella's name was called as the recipient of the Kindest Recognition Award. As her father, knowing that she was honored for her kindness to her friends, dance-mates and her fellow dancers filled my heart with immeasurable joy. It is all we could ever ask for in life -- to see our children not only excel in their talents, but also be recognized for the goodness of their hearts. I was deeply moved to know that she was celebrated in such a meaningful way, in front of her friends, big sisters in dance and mentors. Zena, your vision and attention to every detail made this event so special. The venue was stunning and set the perfect stage for a night of joy and pride. Miss Heather, Miss Vero, and Miss Chiara, your awards and kind words meant so much to the dancers and families alike. To all of the teachers -- Heather De Santino, Veronica Alvarez, Chiara Gonzalez, Stavi, Storm, Sabrina Bishamber, Shara DeMaio, Ms. Christie, Eric Ubiera, and the entire DG team -- thank you for nurturing not only the technique and performance of our children, but their character and spirit. #DG Your guidance, patience, and devotion go beyond teaching choreography. You show our daughters how to be confident, compassionate, and resilient -- qualities that will stay with them long after the music fades. For that, we are truly grateful. With sincere thanks and warm regards, Patrick, Philomena and Isabella Doliny
