  • "I've been dancing with the Academy of Dance ever since I was 5 years old. This studio has been like a second home to me to dance the stress out, have positivity mind collective thoughts and full of energy with the people that treat you like family. That's how I felt when I first danced there, I felt like I had a second family all sisters and brothers. Linda and Jim Haas has been amazing over the years and if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be the best that we can be. AOD will always be family to me."

    Maya

  • "I was able to get an amazing scholarship to college, and it's thanks to the Academy! I've danced here ever since I was a little girl, and the Haas family has been amazing! They have taught me to work hard for my dreams, and now they are coming true. If I didn't dance here I wouldn't be the same person I am today. The staff are amazing too, they love their job. It always makes the difference when a teacher loves to teach. And hopefully one day, I'll be just as an amazing dance teacher as they are now. LOVE YOU AOD!!!."

  • "My daughter loves to dance. We moved to AOD 4 yrs 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 3yrs ago. The teachers are wonderful and know how to bring the best out in her. Very happy for our family to be part of AOD."
