American Dance Institute Greenwood, located in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood, offers a variety of dance classes for all ages, including toddlers, kids, teens, and adults. The studio features styles such as ballet, hip hop, tap, Irish dance, Flamenco, modern, contemporary, K-pop, Shuffle, and Hula. The environment is welcoming and friendly, making classes accessible for everyone, regardless of experience. Students often mention the gifted teachers and supportive staff, which help create an engaging atmosphere for personal growth in dance. Many appreciate the opportunity to connect with others who share their love for dance and music, especially in classes like K-pop, where students can hear their favorite songs and collaborate with classmates. The adult classes are described as inclusive environments where everyone feels comfortable learning at their own pace, with fun atmospheres and friendly instructors. Visitors are advised to allow extra time for parking, as it may take 20-30 minutes to find a spot and walk to the studio. The area is safe, and the studio is highly recommended for those seeking a fun and inviting place to explore dance. Notably, Donny is praised as a great tap teacher, though the summer "Tap I" class is better suited for those with some prior experience, with beginners encouraged to wait for the full-year schedule.
We have been taking pre-ballet, pre-ballet II and pre-ballet II at ADI Greenwood and love it - the teachers have been so lovely and the instruction style is perfect for my child.

10/10 ballroom classes! Julia helped us prepare for our wedding dance, and was great. Perfect professionalism, experience, guidance, and encouragement for two people with zero dance experience.

Donny is a great tap teacher. The summer "Tap I" or "beginner" class isn't really only for beginners, though. It seems that novices should wait for the full-year schedule to begin and take the actual beginning level then.
