Becoming part of the Akimbo Dance Studio (ADS) family is an experience like no other. Students are lovingly guided in the pursuit of being the best version of themselves. They are inspired in the studio and in their personal lives. It’s a journey of self-discovery.
We go beyond fostering an environment where everyone is included to one where people of all races, religion, gender identity, physical and mental ability and LGBTQIA2S+ are valued and accepted.
This enriching experience is found throughout their entire journey with us – from preschool to where they enter the world as kind, worthy, self-assured, caring adults.

We love being part of the Akimbo family!! We have been with this studio for 4 years and I could not imagine going anywhere else. The instructors are all amazing; they put so much care into each student, and I see so much growth and improvement with each class that my daughter takes. Kim is so dedicated, encouraging, and accommodating with all of the families. She works hard to provide the best opportunities for her dancers. She is very professional in her work, and as a result, the classes, the studio, and the recitals are top notch. I highly recommend Akimbo.

There are not enough words to describe how great this studio is. Kim goes above and beyond to make every single student feel like part of the akimbo family. She is so accommodating and truly has the student’s best interests at heart. Such an amazing group of instructors. Akimbo has been a great place for our children to call their second home.

My nine year old son has been with Akimbo since he was four years old. He enjoyed tapping and acro classes. And looks forward to adding Hip Hop this season. The instructors and Kim the owner are all so amazing with the students. They keep the students engaged and ensure everyone is having fun. Kim really loves and cares for her staff and students. I was grateful to experience a session of Adult Tap with Sheena and still click clack often. I recommend Akimbo Dance Studios for all your dancing needs.
