🌍👯‍♀️ A (slightly late!) Happy International Dance Day from the ACDA! 💃🏿🌍

We may be a day late—but we’re celebrating BIG! 🎉 At the Arts Castle Dance Academy, we believe dance is for everyone and that it brings our community together through creativity, movement, and collaboration. From our youngest dancers taking their very first steps to our experienced performers lighting up the stage, we are so proud of the growth, confidence, and passion we see every day. ❤️

And what better way to keep the celebration going than to announce SUMMER DANCE at the ACDA?! ☀️

Our summer classes are now open for registration—check them out in our interactive catalog below!

We’re especially excited about our two summer dance camps with Miss Mia:
🐾 Bluey’s Summer Dance Party (Ages 3–6)
🎤 KPop Demon Hunters Training Camp (Ages 6–12)

These camps are packed with dance, creativity, and FUN—you won’t want to miss them!
