Academy of American Dance

Academy of American Dance We believe artistically inspired dancers are best developed through the mastery of sound technique.

We're hosting the Bay Area's most family friendly Nutcracker performance. Our Nutcracker has a cast of approximately 100 dancers who are all from the Bay Area and is performed at Redwood City's Fox Theater. Tickets for Fri Dec 6 at 7p and Sun Dec 8 at 2p are available at http://www.balletamerica.org/. Located near Woodside Road and El Camino in Redwood City, The Academy of American Ballet ("AAB") distinguishes itself from other dance schools that merely instruct students on how to master steps. AAB believes that the development of the dancer should include a mastery of sound technique based on anatomical principles to prevent injury and insure a full dance career, as well as the opportunity to explore dance as an art form by providing opportunities for each dancer to explore individual expression.
