HAD offers two separate tracks of study: the Graded Pre-professional Program and the Leisure Dance Program.

The Graded Program is for the more serious student. Once a dancer progresses into Level I where all the dance styles are offered in separate classes, certain requirements for advancement are mandatory such as attendance; twice weekly ballet classes in addition to any other styles you choose to study; required continuation of study during the summer for Level II and up; and mastery of skills and vocabulary. In order to study pointe, students must stay in a graded ballet program.

Most students continue this track until Level III-IV. At this point in their dance studies, the students are usually entering middle school. Some students decide that ballet, which is required for all other upper level classes is not their focus; or they no longer have the time to commit to the required number of times they must attend weekly in order to stay in their current level. Students may need dance only to supplement another activity such as gymnastics, musical theatre, drill team, cheerleading, etc.

Creative Movement (age 3) Movement preparation for ballet training, including basic motor skills taught through imaginative activities.

Pre-Ballet (age 4) Similar to Creative Movement with an introduction to basic ballet skills.

Combination Classes Ballet/Tap (age 5–8) and Ballet/Jazz (age 7–8) Age appropriate dance activities in ballet along with an introduction of tap or jazz within a one hour class time. 

Leisure Dance Program
Teen and adult students can take ballet, jazz, modern, tap and hip hop on the same levels offered in the Graded Program without the stringent requirements. There is no ballet requirement for any of the classes. The only exception to this is if the student wants to continue their jazz in the graded program. If they chose to do this, they must enroll in a ballet class offered in the leisure program. The required attendance is once a week.

The number of students in the class desiring to perform will determine participation in the year-end production.   Poor attendance will preclude the class from performing.

Summer Dance Camps
A different theme each week and a performance on Friday for parents and family! Children gain exposure to different dance disciplines: Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Tumbling, as well as arts & crafts, with snack time and a T-shirt.

Summer Intensive Workshop
Held annually, the Intensive Workshop is a special opportunity for intermediate and advanced students whose desire is to dramatically advance their technical skills as well as to improve their performance confidence.

Concentrated study with exceptional teachers who bring to the classroom the knowledge, motivation and expectation of the professional world of dance, have inspired our students to new heights of accomplishment summer after summer. Exposure to the many styles of dance taught by a variety of special guest artists and our staff teachers will not only benefit those who dream to dance professionally, but also those who love to dance as recreation.
