The Academy Dance Program, founded more than 40 years ago, offers professional instruction for all levels, beginner through advanced, ages two through adult. We instruct and perform a wide variety of styles including hip hop, jazz, ballet, pointe, tap, ballroom, salsa, pom, and lyrical. Each spring, all Academy dancers are showcased in the Academy's end of year recital production.
ACE dance teams (formerly known as Starettes and Barnard Company Dance) have been a National Champion competitive allstar dance program for dancers ages five through 18 for over 20 years. These dancers have showcased their talent in professional stage shows throughout the world.
