Led by passion, The NINE Dance Academy is a dynamic, goal-oriented, and innovative movement commited to achieving excellence. Inspired by team building and the power of camaraderie, together we strive for greatness in our efforts to carve out a new and exciting path. Through cutting edge dance training in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Acro, Tap, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Modern and Improv, at 3 different intensity levels, we strive to create the next generation of highly proficient dancers, teachers and choreographers. We also strive to always provide a safe, clean, organized and well-equipped facility.

OUR FACILITY
Great dancers need a space that helps them learn and grow. That’s why our four fully-equipped and renovated studios feature sprung floors, a Rosco ballet floor, a new sound system, and state-of-the art equipment. Just outside the main studios, you’ll find a modern kitchen, change rooms, lockers, and even a homework area. And if you’re just here to watch a dancer in one of our recreational classes, you’ll find yourself feeling right at home in our luxurious viewing lobby.
