About American Dance Academy

Our success comes from knowing that we have made a difference in the lives of the children we teach!


American Dance Academy opened in 1993 under the direction of Darlene-Giordano Cummings. The facility offers state of the art equipment, ballet barres and a top of the line floating dance floor. The curriculum includes ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, hip-hop, modern, cheer/tumble and pre-school, adult and intensive dancer programs for beginner through pre-professional levels.


The staff of American Dance Academy is made up of a wonderful group of caring people who have a genuine love for the art of dance and the children. Our teachers take the responsibility to insure that activities are safe and age/gender appropriate. Each teacher encourages a positive, supportive and mutually respectful working atmosphere while stimulating children's minds and physical skills. They encourage students to strive to meet their fullest potential and to value the art of dance. Our teachers participate in yearly continuing education opportunities and programs to provide the most up-to-date quality instruction. They are not only teachers, but positive role models, mentors and motivators.


American Dance Academy also brings in multiple Master Teachers from Philadelphia, New York and California each year to expand the student's dance training along with offering field trips to New York City to study with multiple Master Teachers.
