A Path for Every Dancer
At Academy of Dance Arts you can do a little bit of dance or a lot: recreational classes from age 2, the ADA Dance Company for competitive dancers, adult classes, a summer session — and a June recital where everyone takes the stage.
- Ages 2 through adult
Recreational Classes
One class a week or several — ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, modern, lyrical and pointe, organized by age from Dancer & Me through the gemstone levels. Every class performs in the June recital.

ADA Dance Company
Our competition program: Micro Mini through Senior companies in jazz, contemporary, hip-hop and technique, competing across Wisconsin and northern Illinois and performing in the community.
About the Company → - June 11–13, 2027
Annual Recital
The highlight of the ADA year at the Germantown Performing Arts Center — professional stage, real lighting, every dancer from age 2 up. Families tell us it's the most organized, polished recital they've seen.
Recital dates → - Ages 18+
Adult Classes
Beginner/intermediate-friendly evening classes in ballet/contemporary and hip-hop & jazz. Parents of ADA dancers, returning dancers and total beginners all welcome.
Adult classes → - June–August
Summer Session
A separate summer schedule of classes and camps keeps dancers moving between seasons. Dates and classes are announced each spring.
Ask about summer → - Three weeks a year
Parent Visitation Weeks
In November, February and May we open the studio doors so parents can watch class and see exactly what their dancer is learning.

Start anywhere. Go as far as you like.
The same ladder serves every family: a 2-year-old in Dancer & Me, a 9-year-old trying her first Beginner hip-hop class, a 15-year-old going on pointe, a mom in Tuesday-night ballet. Dancers move up through the gemstone levels as they're ready, and the door to the Company is open to anyone willing to work for it.
