Garlands Academy of Arts: bringing exceptional performing arts education to North Texas students of all ages.

Music or Dance studios to enroll at?
Academy of Arts provides instruction in music, dance, and theater for students of all ages. Families are with us since we began in 1995, when we started as a small studio in the directors home. In those years 100s more students have been learning and performing music and dance with us and we tripled in size during our last session. Visit our location at Jupiter and Lookout -- its convenient to Garland, Richardson, Plano, Murphy, Wylie and Sachse.

As a parent we realize you have a choice between several different music and dance schools. We constantly improve our facilities and provide ongoing training to our staff to ensure we are always providing our students and parents with the best experience possible. Our teachers are university-trained, dedicated to excellence and infectious in their love of teaching!
Walk through our school and hear the sounds of guitar, piano, and singing coming from the music studios, share in the songs and giggles together with your toddler as guests in a free sample pre-school music class, view the Little Dancers as they twirl and tap while learning solid foundations of dance, see the older dancers progress in the grace and beauty of ballet and/or choosing the cool moves of Jazz and Hip Hop styles. Sit in on a music lesson -- we'll set you up for a complimentary observation of a student close to your age so you can see where you can be in a few months of study.
