summer 2017 is going to be like no other.

We have combined our favorite classic styles with a ton of new ideas! We are shaking things up at ACCSD, and we are so excited for what's to come.

We love what we do, and ACCSD has been a staple in the Mechanicsville community for decades, and more recently in Tappahannock and Elko. The world is moving faster than ever before, so we felt it was the perfect time to expand our class selection.

Miss Ann's mentor and master Jazz teacher Luigi once said, "Never stop moving" and we intend to follow his words in both our business and on the dance floor.

We are working hard every day to improve our school in every way possible, and we appreciate all the love, support, and incredible feedback we have gotten so far! If you would like to tell us what you think, or how we can make your dance experience even better, please contact us! We'd love to hear from you.
