Why Choose Dance Arts Academy’s Adult Classes Over Traditional Fitness Options?
Looking for a way to stay active while enjoying movement, creativity, and connection? Dance Arts Academy’s Adult Tap & Jazz classes offer a unique alternative to standard gyms and recreational sports. Let’s compare what makes our programs a more engaging and fulfilling choice.
Most gym workouts and sports leagues provide minimal one-on-one guidance, leaving you to navigate training on your own.
Treadmills and weight circuits can become monotonous, making it harder to stay motivated.
Many adult sports leagues emphasize competition, while gyms tend to be independent workouts with little social interaction.
Workouts typically center on strength and endurance, overlooking creative expression and mental well-being.
Our instructors provide personalized feedback, ensuring safe progress and skill development at every level.
Dance combines rhythm, artistry, and technique, keeping every session fresh, exciting, and rewarding.
Our classes focus on growth and enjoyment in a non-competitive setting where encouragement and camaraderie thrive.
Dance nurtures both physical and emotional health, improving coordination, confidence, and stress relief while keeping you active.

Control, Coordination, and Confidence in Motion
Dance is more than movement. It is an art that requires focus, discipline, and intention. Our Adult Tap and Jazz classes help dancers refine their skills through structured training that enhances coordination, rhythm, and musicality. Tap builds precision and control with intricate footwork, while Jazz strengthens body awareness through fluid transitions and dynamic choreography. By setting personal goals and pushing past challenges, dancers develop a strong work ethic that extends beyond the studio. The ability to stay present, learn complex sequences, and move with purpose not only improves performance but also builds confidence in everyday life.
Overcoming Challenges and Finding Balance
Dance is more than learning steps. It teaches perseverance, adaptability, and the ability to push through challenges with determination. In our Adult Tap and Jazz classes, dancers develop resilience by refining technique, tackling new choreography, and staying committed to personal progress. Every class provides an opportunity to strengthen both body and mind while reducing stress through creative expression and movement.

My daughter loves going to dance each week!
My daughter has taken dance at Dance Arts Academy since she was 3 (9 years ago). We love the teachers and classes. She has taken tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, and musical theater. My son also loves the boys hip hop classes! I would recommend them to anyone!
My toddler just turned three and had her first dance session there last week. The instructor was patient and kind! My toddler enjoyed the class and has been talking about it ever since. The front receptionist was very kind and outgoing every time I have called and has been very helpful and pleasant to speak to.
My Grand daughter attends this academy and Mrs Hedi has done a wonderful job teaching her !!! We attended the recital and were very happy!!
We just moved to the area a couple months ago. My kiddos were highly involved in their studio back home and on company team. When I say the owner, company director and everyone in between made us feel welcome, it’s an understatement. We already feel at home at our new studio. Wonderful dance instruction, the kids have a blast, and they are learning a TON!!! I expect is to be a part of the DAA family for years to come!!
We love DAA! Our daughter is 4 and takes Glitter Gems and Hippty Hop classes. Our Son is 2 and we do Zumbini class with him. Dotty and her staff are super sweet. They are prompt to answer emails which makes us feel like they really care. The tuition is reasonable and I love that the cost of costumes is included in the monthly tuition so you aren’t hit with that cost all at once. Although we will not be attending during the summer due to other activities and travel. We have already registered fall classes.
Mrs. Georgette is my daughter's favorite dance teacher. My daughter is in the "Darby's Dance Class" for special needs. Mrs Georgette is so patient and talented. So glad to have her as a dance teacher 💓 …
My daughter has been dancing here since she could walk (she’s 12 now!). We’ve enjoyed every class. We’ve taken tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater, and lots of technique. This academy is perfect for those looking to just have fun, and for those that want to perform and compete. My son loves the boys hip hop. The instructors are professional but laid back. The best part is the friendships that have developed over the years, this is her home away from home!
Morgan is such an amazing teacher to Angelica. She has so much patience and shows great concern to attention and details of the dance. She manages all the children with ease and definitely shows great interest with all the children.
We love DAA! This is my daughter's second year at DAA so she decided to branch out from ballet and take both Morgan's Hippity Hop 2 class and Becca's Jazz/Tap 1 class. Her teachers are great with their class kiddos! Both Morgan and Becca are encouraging, patient, and know how to adapt their teaching to whatever the kiddos need each class. I've definitely noticed a boost in my daughter's confidence since she started at DAA last year! Thank you to Morgan and Becca for increasing my daughter's interest in dance and to Heidi for getting it started last year with Ballet 1!
Dotty is the best ! My little princess wanted to start ballet when she was three . I was unsure of locations to choose but I’m so happy we went with dance arts academy. Dotty has helped her blossom so much into the little dancer she is. Some other girls in the class used to cry and be so nervous and dotty has been so patient and helped them become so comfortable and confident .
My daughter has taken dance here for two years. She’s almost 6. At first it was just a dance class, something fun for her to do... but it has become so much more to us as time has gone by. It’s a community, a family. Dotty and her staff (all of them) make a point to get to know who each dancer is... to encourage and support each student at whatever level they are at. Their communication is amazing, their love for their students is endless and the recitals are phenomenal! Truly a culmination of love and hard work, both from the dancers and the instructors. It’s a pleasure to watch them all and so wonderful to know that my daughter can learn and grow with Dance Arts Academy for many more years to come!
We absolutely love Miss Heidi! She always has positive things to say and is supportive of both parents and kids! My daughter loves going to dance class and seeing Miss Heidi and her friends!
Addy loves her class. Teaches so much more than just dance!
Amazing! All the staff is great with kids of all ages and abilities.
What a wonderful place to take dance💖Dance Arts Academy is a great place to create memories with your child. Their environment and classes are amazing. Sign up!!!! 😊🌸🌹🌺🌷
We have been going to Dance Arts Academy for the last 3 months. My daughter is 2 1/2 in the me & my shadow dance class. She gets so excited every Monday knowing that it is dance day! I have called around different dance places before going to Dance Arts Academy, they were either really expensive or didn't offer classes for that young of an age group. This dance studio is very clean and very reasonable priced! Not only does my daughter enjoy this class but I also look forward to be able to dance with her and spend some time out of our busy day together to enjoy dance. Dotty has so much patience and always has fun dance routines for these little girls! Thank you for offering a dance class for a younger age group!
Georgette is the most amazing tap teacher! I’ve been in her adult class for 9 years from very beginner to the advanced class. My daughter spent more years with her, laughing, learning, and challenging herself along the way. Georgette is incredibly patient, creative, and fun. Her choreography and approach is the best!
We have had the absolute best experience with Dance Arts Academy. The darbys dancer is an amazing organization and we have been so lucky to be a part of it. Georgette is a fantastic teacher with a heart of gold and makes my daughter feel so confident and welcomed. 😀 Best dance studio in the Boise area! …
Ms Heidi is the sweetest dance teacher. She shows compassion when the students hurt themselves while dancing. My daughter absolutely loves her and has opened up so much since being in her class this year. Thank you Ms Heidi! We appreciate everything you do!
