Nurturing A Passion for Dance Since 1970

History

Established in 1970.

The Academy of Dance was founded by Bonnie Little Roberson in the basement of her home. She quickly outgrew this space and moved to a shopping center on Watson Blvd. In the 80’s she built our current location on Pleasant Hill Rd and sold it to Mrs. Judy McCune. «Miss» Judy ran the AoD for over 25 years, and sold it to one of her instructors, Mrs. Kim Rowley. «Miss» Kim has expanded the offerings of the AoD to what it offers today: Classes for tots at age 2 to adult classes.
