Welcome to the South Riding Dance Academy (SRDA, Inc.) Web Site!
Founded by the owner, Heather Ann Taylor, in October 2000.

SRDA offers an award winning competition team program. Through a process of auditions, we select the top dancers to represent SRDA at several local /east coast competitions. Dancers ages range from 6 through 17. They also represent SRDA at our local parades and are members of Team Fox for Parkinson's. Our dancers have raised over $7000.00 for this cause. Auditions for the 2011-2012 season will be held in May.

 

We offer dance to ages 3 through adult in tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, pom, pointe, contemporary, and ZUMBA with a wide range of scheduled classes to accommodate your busy schedules.

 

Through our Musical Theater Acting Department, currently in it's 3rd season, students are able to express their selves in a whole new way at our dance studio. They will study a wide range of peices from comedy to Shakespere. And, just like dance class, they will end their season with a performance to remember.

At SRDA, we encourage our students to be confident, learn self discipline, and self worth through the expression of dance. With our professionally trained staff, we strive to reach a higher standard of instruction and focus on not only teaching dance but to make each and every student feel important in our structured classes.

 

We also find it very important to keep a family oriented atmosphere. Parents and siblings are welcome to enjoy all events and offerings at our studio.
