The studio has been a second home. 17 years ago, I was just looking for something for my 3 and 6 year old to do to stay active, never imagining how much my kids would love dancing and performing. They've made amazing memories and friendships. If you're looking for a studio, there is something here for everyone, including boys!

I have 2 daughters who attend Dance Academy of Stuart and continue to thrive at this studio. We call it our second home because not only do they receive wonderful dance training, they also have a second family that we love being around. As a mom, I appreciate the focus placed not just on dancing but also life…

Brooke Belding3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Brooke has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The Dance Academy of Stuart is the best dance studio in the area for all ages and levels of dance. I danced for 15 years, and 13 were spent at DAS where I was a part of the Company Program, competition team, numerous performances, and student teacher program. Every teacher at DAS has a strong dance background, creates amazing choreography, and a focus on technique, all while providing an exciting and welcoming environment for all dancers. As an alumni, I am still great friends with fellow dancers and teachers at DAS, and I am still always welcome back to take a class, substitute teach or watch performances. If you’re looking for a studio that feels like family but still pushes dancers to be their best, DAS is the place for that! Ms. Alicia is an incredible director, choreographer and teacher, and she runs the studio with passion and professionalism at all times. Other teachers such as Ms Lindsay, Ms Ryan, Ms Kim, Ms Susan, Ms Sonya, Ms Shelby, Ms Karen, Ms Lorna and others helped me grow not only as a dancer but personally as well. I am forever grateful to have grown up at DAS! I highly recommend DAS for dancers of all ages and levels!
What a beautiful review! You're always part of our DAS family. It has been an incredible and rewarding journey watching you grow into the confident beautiful young woman you are today. It's always a joy to see you and watch you still dance ! 💕 Thank you Brooke

I spent my childhood in this studio and l wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. From my peers to the instructors I’ve created memories and gained a true foundation of technique from a young age that has given me the ability to do many things with my dance career.
The studio provides high-quality training while creating a positive, encouraging environment where dancers can build their confidence.
Alicia is an excellent studio owner and runs the studio with a passion for the arts. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for an exceptional dance education.
