For 49 years our studio has been creating an artistic, elite and fun dance environment for the Brookfield community and all surrounding towns. Did you know... Our director, Miss Sam, enrolled at the Academy of Dance Arts at the age of 3 and instantly found her passion on the dance floor. She danced her way through her youth at various intensives and programs such as Alvin Ailey and Hofstra University; competing at the elite level, training with world renown dancers and choreographers, growing her artistry and creating a strong dance family and community as she went. Upon graduation, Miss Sam returned to teach at the studio she loved so dearly and in 2018 took over the role of Director from the beloved Miss Doreen Rafferty. It is Miss Sam's goal to continue the Academy of Dance Arts Family atmosphere and community through elite technical training, social development, teamwork, trust and passion. If you are looking for your child to grow in a healthy environment, build lifelong friendships and develop their joy of dance, our studio may be right for you!
