Our second featured studio from Arkansas is…
Name: Arkansas Academy Of Dance
Location: 10301 N. Rodney Parham Rd., Brackenridge Village, Little Rock, AR, 72227
About: This school has a typical lineup of classes, including creative movement, ballet, jazz and modern. It also offers Pilates. There is a scholarship program for boys and a cash-based referral program for those who get a new student to sign up and take some classes.
What really caught my eye was the creative way that they peppered mini-events into the dance class schedule. I noticed that they have a “bring a friend week”, a “parent participation week” and even a “costume week” to help keep things interesting. Just enough to prevent classes from getting boring–but not so much that there is no sense of routine.
The school is also affiliated with the Arkansas Festival Ballet.
