OUR GOAL

At Amherst Dance Academy, our goal is to provide dance education, miscellaneous dancewear, and personal growth opportunities at a competitive and affordable price.  We take pride in being able to offer our dancers more than what they would find at other studios.  We also take very seriously the environment and education your dancer receives.  Our goal is to provide a challenging, positive, and fun environment that is influential in the lives of our dancers as we teach and build in your dancer proper dance technique, respect, discipline, and self-esteem.  We believe even difficult things can be achieved when the bar is set high and and the door of opportunity is left wide open for the dancer to walk through it.

DRESS CODE   

Is there a new dress code for regular class?

 

Students enrolled in the red or pink class, still have a colored leotard for their class dress code.  All the other ballet classes will be participating in exams, so to help you out financially, class dress code will be the same as for exams.  You won’t have to purchase anything additional for exams.  Ballet class: Black, tank-style leotard; pink ballet tights, pink ballet shoes.  Tap, Hip-hop, Lyrical, and Tumbling class: Leotard and tights - no specific color!  Dance shorts and dance capris are acceptable over a leotard.  No T-shirts/sweatshirts.
