IDA complements all teaching methods, and accelerates students’ training through a series of ballet and/or tap exercises and dances designed to improve technique, performance quality, and stamina.

Testimonials
“I cannot say enough spectacular things about IDA. It has changed my school for the better and has made the studio grow. It has educated the teachers, allowing them to become better instructors, and has enabled the dancers to soar to great heights. My school would not be what it is today without the IDA program.”
