The Dance Academy Del Mar offers a complete range of dance training disciplines across dedicated dance rooms — giving every student in Rancho Santa Fe a program precisely matched to their age, level, and goals.

• Royal Academy of Dance (RAD): The Dance Academy Del Mar is San Diego's only studio offering the Royal Academy of Dance program — a globally recognized curriculum built on rigorous, step-by-step dance progressions with official RAD examinations and international certifications.

• RAD Ballet Program: Our structured RAD Ballet program develops strong classical technique from foundational levels through advanced training, preparing students for formal RAD examinations administered by examiners from London.

• Classic Ballet: Classic ballet classes emphasize proper alignment, musicality, and graceful execution — building the technical foundation every dancer needs regardless of which style they ultimately pursue.

• Ballet Academy: Our Ballet Academy is designed for committed dancers pursuing a serious, focused training pathway. Classes are rigorous, progressive, and taught by faculty with professional performance experience.

• Pre-Pointe & Pointe: Advancement to pointe work is carefully earned. Our Pre-Pointe program develops the strength and technique required before transitioning to Pointe classes, where students begin learning variations from classical repertoire.

• Baby and Me Classes: Designed for children from 18 months, Baby and Me classes introduce the youngest dancers to music, rhythm, and movement through parent-accompanied, play-based exploration.

• Toddlers and Tiny Tots: Our Toddlers and Tiny Tots program welcomes children ages 2–4 to their first structured dance experience, combining ballet, tap, and jazz fundamentals in a warm, nurturing class environment.

• Jazz Dance: Jazz dance classes bring energy, style, and performance flair to students of all levels — drawing from Broadway traditions and contemporary commercial styles with age-appropriate choreography.

• Tap Dance: Tap develops rhythmic precision, musicality, and footwork coordination. Classes span beginner through advanced levels, with a focus on developing each student's individual rhythmic voice.

• Contemporary Dance: Contemporary dance merges classical technique with expressive, fluid movement. Students explore dynamics, artistry, and emotional connection to music in a class that challenges both body and imagination.

• Acro Dance: Acro fuses dance technique with gymnastic elements — cartwheels, aerials, walkovers, backbends, and handstands — taught safely and progressively to build athleticism and performance versatility.

• Hip Hop: Hip Hop classes deliver high-energy, street-dance-inspired movement for all ages, developing rhythm, body control, and individual style in a fun, expressive class environment.

• Stretch & Strength: Stretch and Strength classes focus on flexibility, core conditioning, and injury prevention — essential support training for dancers across every discipline we offer.

Dance Camps, Ballet Intensives & Summer Programs Throughout the year, our Dance Camps, Ballet Intensives, and Summer Programs provide focused, immersive training that deepens skills and builds the kind of performance experience students carry into every regular class.
