Tioga Artistic Dance Academy (TADA!) is a dance school dedicated to providing a solid dance foundation for young dancers ages 2-18. Small class size assures individual attention to each dancer enrolled in class. Dancers who have demonstrated a willingness to commit to a more intensive dance program are invited to participate in the dance company which provides several community performances, dance education, and social opportunities.
TADA! is part of the Owego Gymnastics and Activity Center and is a Not-For-Profit organization. We pride ourselves in providing quality instruction and maintaining low costs.
Students who enroll in the Fall Semester are invited to perform in the annual Spring Show school dance recital. The only cost involved for your dancer is to purchase a performance leotard, tights and dance shoes appropriate for your class. That information will be provided during the Fall Semester.
TADA! Dance Company has proudly adopted the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central New York as the charity for which we stage two benefit performances each year with the proceeds going to this worthy cause.
