If you are looking for a studio because you want to start dance as a hobby, or you decide you would want to pursue dance as a career, ADC is truly the place to go in the Western MA area. The teachers put time into each student for individual growth, but also create a space that is welcome to questions. This gives students permission to be in charge of their progress. I started training with ADC in early middle school, I am now living in NYC, having received my BFA in dance from Marymount Manhattan College, and dancing professionally. I knew by the time I was in high school that this is what I wanted, and my teachers at ADC supported me with the training and knowledge I needed to get me started on that journey. I am forever grateful that I made the decision to train at the studio because I don’t think I would be where I am now without those roots. To conclude, If you are thinking about it, I encourage you to enroll at ADC. This dance school provides the tools for you to fuel your passion for dance whether you stay recreational or aspire to something more, like I chose to :)
Whether you are looking for a studio that aids your development as a professional dancer or a place to enjoy and explore movement—Artistic Dance Conservatory is hands down the best studio! ADC helped shape who I am not only as a dancer, but as a student, artist, and member of my community. The staff provided me with incredible training and support that prepared me for my career as a professional dancer. The teaching staff, the desk staff, the student assistants, and the incredible facilities all help make ADC such a wonderful place. After graduating from ADC in 2017, I received my BFA in dance from NYU and now work as a professional dancer in Los Angeles. Aside from preparing dancers to succeed to in a professional realm, ADC was the place that I made lifelong friends and the place I looked forward to going every single day. All of my siblings have even attended ADC and there is no studio I would recommend more than this one.
We love ADC! Our daughter has completely flourished and we are so excited to continue with this company. She loves learning and performing and enjoys her lessons each week! The shows are really well organized and professional and the extra shows they do are fun and exciting. This is a great spot for your dancer!
Both my 4 years old and my 18 months old attend classes at ADC. The team of teachers is fantastic, great with kids and very professional. The end of the year show is very professional and all the young kids get to participate, both kids love their weekly classes!
As soon as you step into Artistic Dance Conservatory, you are greeted with a warm, genuine hello. This inviting gesture from staff extends down through fellow parents and students too. The waiting area has viewing screens of all classes taking place. It is so fun to watch the growth that takes place week to week from the beginner to the experienced dancer. There is a class for everyone all year long. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable who rotate teaching classes, of all genres, at every level. My daughter just completed their 5-week summer program. The classes were filled with learning, team building, passion, sweat and fun. We are already looking forward to our next class at ADC!
My son started dancing here after going for a summer camp with a friend. They are warm and welcoming and super helpful. The kids in his class welcomed him with open arms and the teachers make him feel successful. This is out of his comfort zone but he is happy to have found a place there.
My daughter started here at 3 and as soon as the lights went up at recital she was hooked. The staff are great with kids, she has fun, is active, and is learning all of her ballet moves to show off at home. She looks forward to coming every weekend and loves her teachers Miss Natalie and Miss Gracie!!!
We love ADC! This year my daughter Sophia will be dancing at ADC for her 6th year. All teachers and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. This will be her second year dancing with the ADC Ensemble, which has been a great learning experience for her, with more intensive dance instruction as well as a great opportunity to be part of a team. She has also made great friends through ADC, some of whom she has known since age 3! They also have many fundraising opportunities throughout the year. Highly recommend!
