We are so excited to have you join us for another fun-filled semester of creativity, movement, and performance. Our 20-week Spring Semester runs from January 6 to May 31, and we can't wait to get started!

​

Use this page as your go-to spot for current schedules, pricing, calendars, and more. While we do our best to stick to the schedule, please note that we reserve the right to make any necessary adjustments along the way.

​

New This Semester: Two Locations!

We are thrilled to offer classes at both our Fuquay location at 118 E. Jones St, Downtown Fuquay and our Lillingtonlocation at 607 S. 13th St. In Lillington, you'll find both short-term programs and our full season offerings, including a performance at the end of the semester!

 

Exciting Spring Showcases

This semester, our Spring Showcases will be something special! We’re thrilled to present DreamWorks Madagascar: A Musical Adventure, with permission from Music Theatre International. Get ready to “move it, move it” as our jazz and tap dancers join forces with the DRAMAworks department to bring this wild story to life!


We’ll also feature a brand-new ballet, Willow’s Words, created by our Owner/Director Michelle Hankins, with original choreography and costumes. This beautiful ballet is based on the book Willow’s Words by Jamie Lago and Terri Boseand tells the heartfelt story of a young girl, Willow, who finds her voice through dance. It's a moving narrative about inclusion and the power of self-expression, and it will feature both our Ballet & Contemporary Department as well as our Early Childhood classes.

 

We’re Here for You!

We can’t wait to have you join the AIDA family! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and excited for another fantastic semester ahead.

Ms. Michelle, Founder & Director
