Our family has been participating in activities since 2019. Anne Marie creates a supportive environment which helped my shy girl thrive. There are a good variety of options for activities and AMA’s values are closely aligned with our own. We always know our girls are in good hands when a AMA.

My kids have been a part of this studio for over 6 years. This studio has become a second home to our family. The staff is amazing and we cannot say enough about how special we feel with each interaction. My kids have grown so much, and their confidence has increased immensely thanks to AMA.

AMA academy of performing Arts, you are the best! Can’t think of a better place to have my kids grow their talents, enjoy their time and make new friends. Safe and supportive environment.Worth every penny, every minute, every commitment. My kids do dance, piano/voice and tumble at AMA… love their recitals ofcourse!!!!

Beware of the “no drop policy” when you sign up for the classes at AMA!
We liked this studio and I thought they truly cared about the families they work with. But after winter recital I discussed our schedule issues and asked for other classes that would work better for our family. Never got a call back. So I found a different place, closer to our neighborhood. AMA Academy of Performing Arts keeps charging us monthly payments and costume charges even though our child does not attend this studio anymore. I don’t think it’s fair. Especially if the family moves farther from the area or has other valid reasons for dropping the class. Do not recommend this place.

Love love love this dance studio. Anne Marie and her team really care for the kids and truly have passion for what they do. They actually watch over them as if they are their own. Welcoming and accommodating. We are new here and so happy this studio is in my community and close to home. My daughter is 5 and I'll be bringing my second little one when she turns 2!

I met the owner out and about and decided to give the academy a try. I was shocked when I heard that they take my 1.5 year old under their wing and teach her dance without me even present. You are able to watch through a window and it was amazing to see how independent my daughter was when in a supported environment. They are so kind and always ensure my daughter feels comfortable since she is one of the younger ones in class.

They just put on a Christmas performance and it was adorable. My daughter had some stage fright and the owner went out of her way to call me next day and invite me to come to class next week to watch the performance again. They really take the extra steps to ensure your child is happy and enjoying class.

They did not charge for performance and only asked to bring a donation for their Loving Lunches Charity which I also thought was nice.

Overall, I highly recommend.

If I could give AMA 10 stars I would! This dance company offers lots of fun opportunities for all ages. Miss Ann Marie was my dance teacher when i was 5 years old(many moons ago). Now my daughter who has been at AMA since she was 3 gets to dance with Miss Ann Marie too! We do ballet and tumbling classes. We absolutely loved their 2 week dance and art summer camp. Highly recommend this company!
