American Dance Academy is the best studio I have danced at (and I have been to 4). The instructors always focus on improving my technique and helping me become the best dancer I can be. I person commented that people are pressured to do competitions. The studio has teams that are meant to attend 2 to 4 competitions each year. However, there are some classes that do not compete. Many girls also do solos. This isn't something I enjoy doing, but I have never felt pressured to do one. I love going to watch the other girls perform at the competitions. Also, dancers are acknowledged for there hard work no matter how they place at the competitions. The focus is placed on sportsmanship and how we felt about the dance, not a number on a paper.
Pros: fun positive atmosphere
Cons: none!
