Family oriented studio with amazing attention to technique!
My daughter had her birthday party at ADC tonight. Best party ever!! (And super easy for parents!)
I am so grateful to be a part of the American Dance Center family. I grew up at ADC and it truly shaped the person that I am now. There is no question that I learned complete and correct dance technique during my years there. But more importantly, I learned that dance is more than just steps: it's the emotion, feeling, and "spirit of dance." My teachers at ADC taught me how to dance, but they also taught me to be a leader, a hard worker, and a kind, joyful individual by their example and instruction. As someone who sustained a bad injury, I can no longer dance at the level I once could, but because of my instruction from the American Dance Center, I express my love of dance through teaching others dance. Words can not express my gratitude to all of my teachers at ADC for their impact on my life, and I take it seriously to "pay it forward" by continuing their legacy.
