WHAT WE OFFER
IDA’s competitive dance program is designed for dedicated dancers who are ready to take their training to the next level through advanced technique, multiple styles of study, and performance opportunities at regional competitions and conventions. Dancers train several days per week in styles such as ballet, jazz, lyrical, and tap. This program requires commitment, teamwork, and strong work ethic.
IDA’s foundations program is for ages 3–16 and offers classes in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Lyrical, allowing dancers to explore a variety of styles in a fun, supportive and non-competitive environment. Young dancers build coordination, rhythm, and creativity through playful, age-appropriate instruction, while older students develop stronger technique, flexibility, musicality, and performance skills.
What ida families are saying
“My daughter has completely blossomed in her dancing at IDA. Moving to a competitive program that is 10 hours a week was intimidating at first. But, quickly we saw how much it was giving to our girl. Monique is incredible. The feedback, the support and the joy of dance she provides not only our dancer but our family is incredible. IDA is more than classes. It’s family. It’s joy. It’s life for my daughter! “
-Meghan B.

“My 8-year old daughter started dancing at this studio summer 2025. She absolutely loves going to her two dance classes a week! Ms. Monique, is amazing with the girls and helps them all feel comfortable and confident. The studio owners keep things well organized and seamless for parents to navigate.”
