Company is where talent meets work ethic—and dancers are challenged to rise, inspire, and lead.

These dancers attend select competitions and conventions, take weekly classes in core styles, and thrive in a supportive, team-first environment that celebrates confidence, commitment, and a passion for dance.

Rock Squad

Mini Squad

Our Minis, ages 7–9, are full of energy, heart, and growing talent! This group builds on foundational skills while learning the value of teamwork, confidence, and performance.

Itty Bitties

Our Itty Bitties, ages 4–6, are the tiniest stars with the biggest personalities! This sweet and spunky group gains confidence, builds friendships, and learns the joy of performing.

Turns & Leaps

This specialty class concentrates primarily on turning technique to improve turns such as pirouettes, attitude turns, and fouettes. The class will also focus on improving jumps and leaps including jetes, Russians, and switch leaps.

Lyrical/Contemporary

Lyrical dance combines the grace of ballet and jazz. The style shows great emotion through the art of dance as students learn to dance to the lyrics of music. You must be 8 years of age, or have teacher permission, and take ballet and jazz in order to take this class.

Tap

Theater and Rhythm tap classes are offered to tappers of all ages and levels starting at 5 years old.

Pointe

This class is by teacher approval only. New students wishing to take this class will be evaluated by their instructor. Students are required to take at least two other ballet classes in addition to the pointe class, must be at least 11 years old and have had extensive ballet training.

Ballet Class

WADA offers a classical ballet program to dancers 5 years and older. Dancers will learn ballet technique through barre and center work. Combinations will become progressively more complicated as the dancer excels.

Rising Stars Program & Super Nova Program

At this age our dancers experience starts to vary a bit more. Because of this we offer many different styles of dance based on a particular dancers skill level. In these classes, except hip hop, dancers are required to take their core classes of ballet and jazz to participate in the other classes.

Shining Stars Program

Our Shining Stars Program is a fantastic 5-7 year old program that is designed and dedicated to provide an engaging atmosphere that keeps your little one twirling, rolling and shuffling for an entire hour. The dancers not only learn proper age appropriate technique, but they build their self-confidence, meet amazing new friends, and will fall in love with the beautiful art of dance. We are confident that our Shining Stars Program is the top program in the area. The dancers are trained by top professionals in the country who not only understand dance and early childhood education, but are also trained to cater to each individual dancer’s needs. The curriculum is based on play and fun, but in a structured setting learning basic technique and lessons they will use for the rest of their dancing lives.

Shooting Stars Program

Our Shining Stars Program is set up for our Pre-k and kinder dancers ranging in age from 4-5. They will be trained in ballet, tap and an intro to jazz! Dancers will learn positions, terminology, and movement in a fun, fluid, and engaging atmosphere. We believe dancers are never too young to learn proper technique. This will teach them to have a true love for dance while empowering them for dance in their future if they choose that path.

Lil’ Stars Program

Our Lil Stars Program is set up for our Pre-k dancers ranging in age from 2-4. They will be trained in ballet and tap while keeping their creativity flowing using props such as scarves, teddy bears and rhythm sticks. Dancers will learn positions, terminology, and elementary movement such as plies, shuffles, and leaps in a fun, fluid, and engaging atmosphere. This program was established because we believe that although we want the younger dancers to have an exciting and entrancing time – and we know they will – we also believe they are never too young to learn proper technique. This will teach them to have a true love for dance while empowering them for dance in their future if they choose that path. It is never too young to be great!!!
