Our girls have been dancing at TAD for 3 years. We have a younger child in the intro classes and an older daughter in the advanced program. In both cases, our girls receive nurturing and professional dance education. Yes, the teachers expect every child to do their individual best. The teachers and staff show their love of the children and their love of dance in everything they do. We have learned that there are literally hundreds of families at TAD and some have been there more than 14 years from age 3 - 18! That is the best statement of the quality of a place. The few negative comments here are generally from parents that completely unable to accept any kind of constructive comments about their child that are designed to help there child grow. We have all seen these types of parents - they are the same parents that blame their school teachers or soccer coach when their child isn't the star.
There are lots of great schools in the area and we chose TAD because it is the best combination of professional instruction and nurturing development of young dancers.
