About this studio
The Academy of Dance is a ballet-focused studio on East Sprague Avenue in Spokane Valley. Their core philosophy centres on a kinesiology-based approach to ballet training, emphasising alignment, core control, and body mechanics to help students progress to the highest levels of technical achievement.
The studio runs four main programmes. Creative Movement (ages 3–5) introduces young students to the ballet studio environment, building motor skills, musicality, and individual creativity in a safe, nurturing setting. The Elementary Program (ages 4–8) teaches the fundamentals of dance through a ballet aesthetic, meeting age-level targets for motor skill development while building flexibility, strength, musicality, and personal discipline through age-appropriate improvisation, play-based learning, and structured combinations. The Ballet Program (ages 7+) is the primary area of study, offering training in ballet technique, body conditioning, pointe, and variations; students in this division are eligible to audition for Spokane Youth Ballet. Adult Ballet serves adults and teens with minimal or no prior experience, offering weekly classes or drop-in options with no required commitment but scope for genuine technical progress.
The studio also runs free summer programming, summer intensives, and summer drop-in classes. Beyond regular classes, the Academy hosts concert programs and performance opportunities, with a newsletter, calendar, and forms available to current students. They maintain a philosophy built on helping students from beginners through professionals follow their dancing dreams.
