Young Dance Academy, Inc.

We wrapped up an amazing weekend of master classes and choreography with the incredibly talented Lex Ishimoto! Our dancers were challenged, inspired, and had such a great time learning from him.

We’re so excited to see this new piece come to life on stage during the upcoming competition season! 🖤 We can’t wait for you to see it! 🫶🏻

A special thank you to Lex for sharing his time, talent, and vision with our dancers. We are so grateful for the creativity and care he put into this piece and can’t wait to see where it takes our dancers this season!

🎶🌈 We wrapped up the final week of our Dance & Create summer classes with a colorful Trolls theme! 💙💖💚

Our dancers came dressed in their brightest, most vibrant colors and had an absolute blast dancing, playing, and enjoying one of their favorite parts of the studio…the parachute! 🎉 There were smiles, laughter, and plenty of excitement from start to finish.

To top it all off, each dancer created an adorable troll craft to take home as a special reminder of a fun-filled class. Thank you to all of our wonderful Dance & Create families for making this summer so memorable. We loved dancing with you! 💕

A glimpse into this week’s Royal Ball themed Dance & Create class! 👑

Our dancers were dressed for the occasion, with princesses and princes ready for a magical adventure. From dancing and imaginative play to lots of smiles, it was a royally fun day! 💖✨

We love seeing our youngest dancers embrace each week’s theme and let their imaginations shine! 🌟

Another one of our Technique Intensive dancers took advantage of an optional summer opportunity to continue her training! ✨

She recently spent a week at the CLI Conservatory Summer Intensive in Southampton, Massachusetts, where she enjoyed learning from talented faculty, meeting dancers from around the country, and immersing herself in a week of dance!

We love seeing our dancers seek out new experiences, challenge themselves, and continue growing throughout the summer. We can’t wait to see all that Sutton brings back to the studio this season! 💙

A few of our Technique Intensive dancers spent an unforgettable week in New York City at the NYCDA Summer Intensive! 🗽🍎

As an optional summer training opportunity, these dancers challenged themselves with a variety of classes, learned from inspiring faculty, and soaked up every moment in the studio. They also had the chance to explore New York City together and take in some of its iconic sights!

We’re so proud of these dancers for taking advantage of opportunities to continue growing, learning, and making memories all summer long. 💙🩰

Under the sea, where little imaginations come to life! 🌊🐠💙

This week’s Dance & Create theme took our 3–5 year olds on an underwater adventure filled with dancing, creativity, and smiles! From moving to fun under-the-sea music to making the cutest fish craft to take home, it was a week full of imagination and joy.

We can’t wait to see what adventure next week brings! 🌟🫶🏻
