Academy Parent

"My daughter loves to dance. We moved to AOD four years ago and can't believe how much she has grown as a dancer. Her confidence and ability to work hard has been tested. She tells me it is fun and challenging and she could not see herself dancing at any other studio. She joined the competition dance team three years ago.
