LEVEL 7 Expanding the technical base and deepening awareness

School Year 2021-2022September 13th-June 18th

Our mission is to spread love and joy through the Art of Dance.

We are Experts in the Field of Dance, and can teach students to reach professional levels; but our approach develops the whole human. Our students gain self awareness and life skills that extend far beyond the studio!

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our knowledge, expertise and passion with our students and their families in a supportive, inspiring environment. Whether new or returning, we are excited to welcome you to our community for School Year 2021-2022!

AT ADA WE TEACH SO MUCH MORE THAN DANCE.

Students must be evaluated for placement into all of ADA’s Levels. This can happen either in person or online and is scheduled through the office.

New students must audition for acceptance into ADA’s full program, which is available to Levels 4 and up. Current

students are notified of acceptance at time of registration.It is designed for aspiring pre professionals who show that they are ready to commit to a mandatory schedule of daily

training, rehearsals and performing.Open Enrollment Classes are available to ALL Students at the

recommended level. The Half Program is available to Levels 5 and Up.

A Modern Full Program is available for Intermediate and Advanced Students who wish to shift their concentration after progressing

through the levels.Photo of ADA alum and American Ballet Theater Senior Corps Member, Lauren Bonfiglio by sori gottdenker

About Performance Preparation Classes

Any classes that include Performance Prep in their title are geared towards creating a piece for the End Of Year Performance. Students must maintain 90% attendance in all of their performance preparation classes so that the class can progress and create as a cohesive group. Excessive individual absences in these classes hold back the group and are unfair to peers and teacher.

ADA’s End of Year Performance is typically held at the Mastrobuono Theater at Rutgers University, on the 2nd Saturday in June. A definite date will be announced as soon as we have confirmation from the theater.

LEVEL 7 OPEN ENROLLMENT

FOR STUDENTS DANCING RECREATIONALLY OR AS A TRAINING SUPPLEMENT FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES.CONSISTS OF SEVERAL CLASS CHOICES AND INCLUDES A PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY. CLASSES WILL BE SHARED WITH HALF AND/OR FULL PROGRAM STUDENTS.
