FAQs

Is AYDT a recreational or pre-professional program?

Our dance program is designed to suit the needs of children who love to dance as a hobby as well as the professionally-oriented student. During the early years of training classes are focused on developing proper dance technique, in a motivational, fun and creative atmosphere. As students get older we offer a variety of classes, some geared towards students seeking pre-professional training and others developed for students interested in continuing with dance for recreation and fitness.

Does your studio participate in dance competitions?

No, we are a traditional dance school where dance is taught through technique classes, rehearsals and performances. We prefer to teach dance as an art form, rather than a competitive sport.

Is this too much?

While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, we firmly believe that children of all ages need down-time to play and just be a kid! We do not recommend doing a different activity every day after school, even if it means not taking a dance class at our studio. We advocate for healthy well-balanced children, and for teaching children healthy time-management skills. We have also found that over-scheduled kids are not able to continue past a certain point at our studio due to excessive overlapping of activities and commitments.

Do you have financial assistance?

We offer financial assistance to children that have an unbridled passion for dance that cannot afford to take class on a regular basis. If you are in need of assistance, please provide the information necessary through this LINK.

More detailed information is available on the FAQ page of our website.
