Academy of American Ballet

I feel incredibly blessed to have both my daughters attend American Academy of Dance in Redwood City. My oldest daughter has been a dancer there for the past six years. We tried a different dance program for a few months prior to coming here and couldn’t believe the difference when we started here, specifically the supportive environment, structured program, and artistic approach. Although my daughter is shy and introverted, she found in this incredibly supportive environment that she could express herself artistically. My daughters are being taught in a structured environment with proper technique. You feel the history of dance and ballet is respected in this school. My daughters are valued for their own abilities. We used to live relatively close to this school; three years ago, we moved a good distance away. Given what the school has done for my daughters, not just in terms of dance but also in terms of supporting their self esteem and emotional growth, we will continue to drive the distance for them to continue to attend this school.

Our daughter danced at AAD for 9 years and progressed in so many areas including ballet, stage performances, and with budding friendships. Thank you to this studio for celebrating each individual dancer, bringing out their best, and welcoming the community in a seasonal Nutcracker production like no other. We will always be a supporter.

My daughter has danced at this studio for 6+ years. She just loves the teachers and classes! As a mom I love this studio because of its focus on dancers being celebrated for who they are. Every body shape & size is valued and encouraged. Dancers are nurtured and grown here. The teachers and directors know the students and challenge them and encourage them individually. Also the older dancers care so much for each other. They cheer each other on and really put effort into caring for and mentoring the younger committed dancers. I’m so grateful for this studio and the sweet role it has played in my daughter’s life!

It’s a nice place to take your kinds for a summer class and introduce them in a new experience with dancing class. Very clean and professional. The teachers are very good with kids and students!

Great facility and dedicated teachers! The office staff are responsive and willing to answer questions. I'd like to go back to the studio when I visit the area again.
