FAQ'S
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A CLASS?
We allow make up classes as long as the class is an appropriate age level.
Please contact the office to confirm your make up class.
WHAT DOES MY TUITION INCLUDE?
Tuition at ADC is all-inclusive. There are no extra or hidden fees throughout the year.
Tuition includes your weekly classes, supplementary parent guide for home study, required
dance costumes, recital performance kit (t-shirt, tickets, video links, photos), class dress
code requirements (tutu or leotard/leggings or t-shirt/pants) and fun surprises!
Additional costs are dance shoes and additional recital tickets.
WHY DO YOU REQUIRE MY STUDENT TO TAKE MULTIPLE STYLES OF DANCE?
Students learn best when:
are in a safe environment surrounded by friends.
1. They
are exposed to multiple modalities of learning.
2. They
Requiring student to cross-train in a variety of styles allows students to excel
quicker, develop an overall appreciation for dance, and receive more long-term
benefits (life skills) that a student taking 1 dance class per week.
WHAT IF MY STUDENT HAS NEVER TAKEN ONE OF THE STYLES BEFORE?
WON’T THEY BE BEHIND THE OTHER STUDENTS AND FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?
Our first month of class always begins with a review. There is no need to be concerned if
your dancer is new to a style. We offer private study if your dancer needs some extra help
and will recommend this to your dancer if we feel it would benefit your child.

ADC TRADITIONS
1. Theme of the Year
Each year we create a mentoring theme to guide our students. In 2017, we decided to
celebrate our yearly themes with a special pin to keep reminding students of these values after
the year ends. Each September, students anticipate our theme reveal!
2. Holiday Ornaments
Founder, Charlotte Williamson, loves getting into the spirit of the holidays and also loves
learning the names of all the ADC students. Charlotte creates hand-decorated ornaments with
each child’s name to help her achieve both. When the students come back from Thanksgiving
Break, trees are set up and decorated with lights and ornaments for over 300 students.
3. Student Evaluations
Progress makes any student feel good! Students receive two personalized evaluations every
season from each of their teachers. Mid term evaluations identify student strengths and
opportunities for growth. End of the year evaluations celebrate student achievements and map
out the perfect class plan.
4. Duet Dance
We love watching our students share their passion for dance with their families. This fun tradition
allows dancers to share the spotlight on stage with a special family member! It’s a huge hit
every year!
5. Parent Appreciation Week!
We would never be where we are today without the support of our amazing parents. You are all
magical! During the week of Valentine Day, we invite parents to experience our classroom
magic by watching or participating with us.
