The Dance Company has wonderful teachers. We love Miss Sallie and how loving she is with her students, as well as how well she manages the kids in class. She maintains control of the children and they have fun at the same time. The Nutcracker performance the studio presented this December was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. It was organized to be part of and entertaining to watch. Really cute little kids and the leading dancers were impressively good. We are thrilled with the studio.

This is my daughters 3rd year at the Dance Company. She is 12 now and she absolutely loves it. Great instructors and very professional. I highly recommend The Dance Company.

Our 1st visit to check it out and they allowed my daughter to try out a class! The staff was super informative and very nice! We are definitely enrolling!

I’ve had many dance team practices here (rented space) and taught a guest class. Great people to work with, nice floors and practice rooms.

We are entering our fourth dance season at IDA, and we have really loved our time at the studio. The instructors are kind, patient, knowledgeable and fun. Our children have grown in many different ways as a result of dance. Thank you for your dedication to families and community!


Indy Dance Academy is a great place to grow as a dancer in all aspects. Our daughter Lauren started dancing only 4 years ago and wanted to jump in full throttle. The IDA directors, staff and instructors embraced and encouraged her to go for it. In four short years Lauren was invited to be part of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Theatre and Dance program as a dance major at Ball State University thanks to the encouragement she received at IDA and the support of the talented instructors. Her comment after her auditions was that although there were instructors that were very hard on her at IDA, she owed them a big thank you for teaching her what she needed to know!


My daughter is 5 years old and has attended IDA since she was 2 ½ years old. We have had such a positive experience. The teachers are so caring a warm and really teach young children the fundamentals of dance. We love IDA.


My daughter enjoys Indy Dance Academy for the teachers, the fun classes & the fun year end recitals. I like the friendly atmosphere. I also appreciate the diversity – diversity of ages, body types, and people!

Kira has fallen in love with dance under the direction of such wonderful instructors who personally know and care about her. Indy Dance Academy provides dance education with a balance of fun with high expectations that allows students to experience success as dancers, but also learn that hard work is necessary to gain success.

Dancing at Indy Dance Academy is so rewarding. The instructors don’t just want you to develop your technique and learn steps, but they want you to develop who you are as a dancer. My experience has helped me define both my confidence and my personality, and I honestly believe that I could only have achieved what I have now at this studio.

Both of our daughters have made lifelong friends and as dance parents, we’ve bonded with the other dance families as well. Our family adores the staff and instructors at IDA and are so appreciative of them as strong role models in our girls’ lives. As parents, instructors and dancers, we are one huge dance family united by all our children’s love of dance.

Luckily, I found Indy Dance Academy offered classes to adults that were challenging enough to make me feel like I was getting a great workout and kept me in shape. I was able to keep dancing through my first pregnancy and now have a little tiny student of my own in classes at IDA. I love that I can now share my passion for dancing with my daughter and the teachers at IDA are fantastic. Thank you to Indy Dance Academy for all you do in enriching children’s lives with the gift of dance!

It is so fun to watch my daughter not only learn the dance moves, socialize with peers, but also have fun. I am so glad that we chose IDA for our daughter. Every staff member that I have encountered is so friendly and helpful.
