Andrea Grasso, Owner
Andrea’s Academy of Dance has been a leader in dance instruction since 2002 under the direction of Andrea Grasso. While AAOD has grown and evolved throughout the years, two things have always remained at the heart of our studio: a commitment to excellence in dance education and a fun, positive, and supportive environment where every dancer can thrive. At Andrea’s Academy of Dance, we’re not just teaching steps—we’re building confidence, creating memories, and inspiring a passion for dance that can last a lifetime.
Our Story
Andrea believes that dance should have a place for every child. Whether a student is stepping into the studio for the very first time, or pursuing dance at a competitive level, our goal is to help each dancer build confidence, develop strong technique, and discover a lifelong love of dance. Dance is Andrea’s passion, and there is nothing she loves more than sharing that passion with the next generation of dancers.
The AAOD faculty is made up of dedicated instructors with years of experience in both teaching and performing. Each member of our team brings a unique area of expertise while sharing the same passion for dance and commitment to our students. We consider it a privilege to encourage, challenge, and support every dancer who walks through the doors of AAOD.
At AAOD, class placement is based on each dancer’s individual skill level, technique, and development rather than age alone. This approach allows our instructors to provide dancers with the individualized attention, appropriate challenges, and training they need to continue growing.
