Ashburn Academy of Dance

Watching the dancers support programs like Darbys Dancers or collecting costumes to donate to other dancers in need are just some of the ways you can see the community focus.

I have been taking adult dance classes at AAD since they first started the adult program back in 2018/2019.

As a parent, it was important for me to find a studio that keeps company/competition costumes age appropriate, and AAD does that.

The dancers shine each year for Nutcracker, Spring recital, opportunities to perform in a spring ballet and a fundraising gala for their program called Darby's Dancers

Over the last few years I have watched her confidence soar and her love of dance and the people who instill that in her (the teachers, the T As, the administration) are all to thank for that.

They offer various types of dance which provides a well-rounded experience for any dancer and encourage high school dancers to participate as Teacher Assistants giving them leadership opportunities outside of school.

Since our dancer started here, they have given her a confidence that she didn’t even know she had…all while providing her with a safe space to explore what she loves.

I can absolutely guarantee if the owners would conduct an anonymous survey of the kids, parents, and, yes, instructors, the results would be in accordance with my review.

She went to a dance studio in Tyson before AAD and didn't get much out of it because there was no structure and the kids really just played during class.

They are aware of the fact that all their dancers have varying cultural and ethnic backgrounds and strive to make everyone feel included.
