Moving into the metro-Atlanta area, we wanted to find the right place for our daughter to continue dancing and further develop those skills. From experience, we knew a few things that we wanted and didn’t want: we wanted professional instructors and not just nice teachers with degrees. We also wanted quality programs instead of the “everyone is a star” kinds of stuff. Truthfully, we wanted our daughter to be pushed and to strive for success (even while experiencing occasional defeat) rather than to be rewarded unrealistically; this better prepares her for the real world. Of course when she was little, we wanted her to have fun and be happy. As she’s gotten older we believe that if it’s worth doing - it’s worth her best efforts.

For us, Georgia Academy of Dance (GAD) was the perfect blend of professionalism and youth instruction. We are so happy that we found them - they bring out the best in our daughter. When we looked online at the biography of the director and teachers we knew that this academy was the real thing, but we have since discovered the wonderful GAD community and its leadership which is both kindhearted and approachable. At every age, every level, kids are affirmed and challenged. Our high school daughter is growing and developing beautifully - GAD has been instrumental in her success. GAD will bring out the best in your child in more ways than just excellent dancing.

I started training at Georgia Academy of Dance & the Performing Arts at 8 years old after my family moved to Peachtree City, GA. Now, 21 years later, I am incredibly grateful and blessed that my parents chose to enroll me at GAD under the Direction of Sherri Davis! This school provided me with the immense knowledge, training, encouragement, and inspiration needed for me to continue a successful and prosperous career in the arts! Because of the incredible dance education that I received from GAD, I have auditioned for and been accepted to highly noted, professional training programs, schools, and companies across the nation, danced professionally for the past 10 years, directed and choreographed a variety of projects in the fine arts and entertainment industries, and been able to pass along the joy of dance to another generation as a teacher, choreographer, and mentor.



In addition to the top-notch, unparalleled, and versatile dance technique and training that I received at this studio, I learned a strong sense of character, hard work, discipline, perseverance, and ultimately, unending passion for the arts. The studio is professional, the staff is exceptional, the performances are amazing and unmatched, and the overall organization and customer service provided is better than any other performing arts school in the area.



My life as a dancer and performing artist would never be what it is now had I not been a part of this fabulous dance studio. I strongly recommend GAD & the Performing Arts to any parent looking to enroll their child in dance because I think every aspiring artist should have the same ability to thrive in the arts like I did!
