Reviews of TADA - The Atlanta Dance Academy (Dance School)

Angelo Isaac

Amazing place! Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, plus a beautiful facility!

Levon Campbell

TADA is a warm, postive, great energy, beautiful instruction and an excellent place to study dance for children, teens, adults and seniors. So many studios only cater to children and teens, but TADA values its seniors. It is a beautiful facility, great parking, fine restaurants and easy to find. Feel free to come by and visit. You won't be disappointed.

My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter participated in TADA's first summer camp! What a great experience. The staff was very warm and patient with the toddler class ... At the end of the week-long camp, Ms Kara and her assistant Liz led these first-timers through a phenomenal showcase of what they'd learned. We also found Ms Laura extremely kind and resourceful! We look forward to fall classes. We also love the well-appointed and beautifully designed studio; the location couldn't be better or more convenient!

Such a wonderful and positive place to take class! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking it out and taking a class!!

The highlight of my week!! Mr. C is aMaZiNg! In addition to the fundamentals of classical ballet, Mr. C infuses each move with fun and motivation all while building your confidence and breaking a sweat. Love him to life! Thanks TADA.

Amanda Hartzell

Beautiful studio and great choreographers! After a 6 year break, I wanted to get back into dancing. Today, I took intermediate jazz with Tim and intermediate hip-hop with Khalil; they were very understanding, encouraging, and supportive! Will definitely be back.

I have never been to TADA but I have heard and seen amazing things about this place and I would love to get the chance to see what it is like to actually be in one of their classes

I went back to ballet after more than 37 years with Mr. C at TADA, it was like starting from scratch. I have come a long way since then. The floor barre class led by Mr Campbell( Mr. C) on Sunday is the best in Atlanta and the ballet classes for adults ( also with Mr. C or Ms Ashley) are excellent. A class with Mr. C is a life changing experience. Ms. Ashley is great as well. I highly recommend this studio and their instructors and classes. Come prepared with an open mind to work hard, see results and maybe get back on that stage again. Everyone is really friendly and the studio rooms are excellent, clean and really nice.

My son takes hip hop classes with Khalil on Sundays. He is generally an anxious kid worried that everyone is watching him, and after his first class I had to encourage him to go back. Now, he can't miss it! Khalil is a great teacher and makes all of the kids feel welcome and capable.

My 3-year-old joined TADA in January and we've had the most wonderful experience! She's 4 now and has had nothing but fun. Kara, who runs TADA, really cares and goes out of her way to make sure that each student and family at TADA has nothing but fun, good learning experiences. The studio is clean and welcoming, the atmosphere is friendly, the changing rooms are impeccable, and each class is televised on a screen for parents to watch while they are waiting (there are big windows to watch through too, but occasionally they have to close the curtains if the little children get too distracted by the sight of their parents peering in at them). The Spring recital a few weeks ago was AMAZING! The children performed according to their class abilities, without pressure, and in between younger classes, adults performed for the audience, amazing us and also giving us a chance to see what our children can learn if they stay involved. One of the dancers was in a wheelchair and he danced so smoothly my 8-year-old leaned over to me and whispered, "I don't think he really needs that chair." All in all, I would heartily recommend TADA to anyone who wants to dance!

I took my first dance class ever at TADA this year and I was instantly hooked! The teachers are very caring will take the time to teach you proper technique. We are so lucky to have Mr. C teaching us, he is THE BEST! Thank you TADA!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Talent, patience, creativity & fellowship radiates from every choreographer & student! Aesthetically it's sleek & modern & the color scheme brings peace to my soul. I feel comfortable letting my hair down & giving all I have in every class! Mr. C's ballet class is brutal in the best way!! You'll return for more! And Tim's jazz is EVERYTHING! Stop reading these reviews & get to a class TODAY!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Ashley Lightsey

I cannot say enough good things about this dance school! I used to dance when I was younger and was really intimidated to getting back in after a 10 year hiatus. I ended up emailing the school to see if I could come and visit and Kara (the director) responded and welcomed me to sit in before I decided. I signed up for classes the following week doing tap! It's such a warm and welcoming environment for newcomers and people getting back into it. I been here a year now. I am currently doing ballet and I love it! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, not to mention affordable classes. You can do drop-in classes if you have a busy schedule which is great. If you're an adult who wants to try dance or come back, do yourself a favor and come to TADA :-)

I’m very lucky to find Tada dance academy. Everyone goes to different places to feel better. Tada is my sanctuary place and after each class I find myself in a better state of mind and body. Teachers are very knowledgeable and detail oriented which help students to perform flawlessly. The owner is an amazing person that connects to everyone on individual level and make sure everyone needs are met. I highly recommend Tada!

Scott Newman

My 2 and 6 year old daughters have been taking ballet classes at TADA since August this year and both love it. The teachers are warm and enthusiastic, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the owner, Kara, is attentive and accommodating. My younger daughter is probably the youngest in the class and was very reluctant at first. The teachers and Kara were amazing, discussing with me things they could try to help her acclimate and Kara personally took her in and stayed with her for most of the second class. By the third week she was marching in by herself willingly. Ever since I get asked constantly if it’s ballet day.

I have been wanting to take an adult ballet class for a long time, and last night I made the "leap" and went to the Adult Ballet - Beginner class at TADA ATL, taught by Mark Burns. It was a wonderful experience! Mark made the class challenging but also encouraged us so much. I will definitely be going back, and I can't wait to keep growing in my ballet skills while also having a fun time and making new dance friends. I recommend TADA to anyone who has ever wanted to express what they feel inside through dance. It's a very professional dance academy, the studios are beautiful, and the people are super friendly.

We love TADA!

My daughters began at TADA this past summer and they had a blast! The teachers are amazing! They are warm, patient, comforting, inspiring, and passionate about their teachings. My daughters are dancing around the house hours after their class ends. After trying several ballet school we will continue our after-school activities here, without a doubt!

Amy Tsang

TADA is wonderful dance studio for all dancers of all levels. I love taking classes with Khalil, JP, and Vic. The environment is always friendly, warm, and professional. I am excited to see TADA grow and expand! ❤️

maria lanave

I am so appreciative of this studio for the wealth of classes they offer and for the instruction I have received from wonderful instructors. Mr. C is a treasure: I am challenged, inspired and given great knowledge of the body and movement. He is able to hold a class together while giving specific, personal critiques. Kahlil is also great: clear, knowledgeable, supportive and creative. I'm sure there are more .. . looking forward to further exploration!!

If you want to feel welcomed and encouraged, come to TADA! Super easy to find too. Cheshire Bridge and Lindbergh.

Lauren Andrews

Simply the best! Great teachers, beautiful space, and amazing management. We can't wait for the fall season!

Steve Carmichael

Ta Da is is one of those small urban miracles you hope for and rarely see. The miracle maker is owner Kara Jacobson, the wonder is a dance studio of beauty and superb technical construction tucked neatly and conveniently in Cheshire Square. For anyone whose interest is jazz, hip-hop, tap, ballet or contemporary, beginner to advanced, the Atlanta Dance Academy has no equal. On top of that, the teaching staff has great breadth and experience.

Leah Bell

Khalil's intro and intermediate hip hop classes are both my jam! Can't get enough!
