Talented Instructors

Each instructor is a professional dancer and/or educator and a caring teacher. We believe strongly in combining a love of dance with innovative education methods that enable the students to reach their potential. Each season, guest artists from across the United States come and share their talents with our students.

Academy Performances

One of the most exciting aspects of dance is performance. Throughout the year, the studio provides various opportunities for students to perform and participate in small studio productions and benefit performances for local fundraisers. A special highlight of each year is the annual fast-paced and entertaining student production held at Wright Auditorium, E.C.U.

Performing Arts Complex

The N.C. Academy of Dance Arts home is a 10,000 sq. ft. building. There are 5 state-of-the-art studios complete with “floating” floor systems and Bose® surround sound systems. Spacious lobbies, custom designed dressing rooms, a student lounge, and media center are for the enjoyment of both parents and students.

Dance Arts Theatre

Dance Arts Theatre was founded in 1985 as a non-profit dance company. The company was established to offer young dancers an opportunity to experience the professional side of the performing arts and enrich the area with an excellent new source of dance. DAT’s repertoire includes The Nutcracker Ballet, Peter and the Wolf, excerpts of Les Sylphide, Stars and Stripes, and Coppelia. The company has toured throughout eastern N.C. and has had the distinction of performing with the N.C. symphony and the Eastern Symphony orchestra.
