Our prayer is to teach a rigorous and fun dance technique curriculum while inspiring our student's individual creativity! Our purpose is to foster our student's love of dance and teach them the importance of their health through edification. Our Academies are devoted to providing a safe and fun environment with outstanding dance instruction to help students achieve their highest potential.
We offer dynamic, high-quality, and affordable dance education and training in a positive and professional environment. In addition to focusing on proper dance technique, we strive to enhance students' self-esteem and values while encouraging friendships among our students. In 2012, Melissa Rayburn took a leap of faith and founded Atascocita Dance Academy to share her passion for dance with others, as well as to train her own daughters.
With the inspirations of others, she & her husband Mike made a prayerful decision to open a dance school.

Nothing more than a few inches of midriff (if that!) will ever show on an ADA dancer.
