Studio Highlights (what sets us apart from other studios)
Our CommitmentASA is dedicated to providing an encouraging, non-competitive, family atmosphere where dancers of all ages have the opportunity to grow in confidence and ability.
Morals & AccountabilityAll music used in our classes is filtered for songs containing explicit language or content. We also use non-provocative dance moves that display proper dance technique. Your student will never be asked to perform "booty popping,” or any other sexually persuasive dance move.
Non-CompetitiveLooking for a positive and encouraging dance studio where your child is free to explore new and exciting types of dance? ASA is committed to providing a studio experience without the push to join expensive competitive companies. We understand that not every student has the desire to compete. Finally, there's a studio for the "rest of us.”
Parent LobbiesEach of our studios has a comfortable lobby with seating, and a view into the studio. We don't expect you to guess what is happening in class, but invite you to see your student grow with each instruction.
Piece of mindA floating sub-floor is vital when it comes to protecting the joints of dancers. Our studio is equipped with a floating sub-floor and accompanied by a dance specific flooring surface. To get exact details and specifications of our floor from the distributor, googleStageStep Time Step Flooring.
Location, Location, Location!There's quick access from the 78 freeway, and only a short distance from the ocean if you're located off the 5 freeway. We easily serve the cities of Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and San Marcos.
