Story

Previously from Canada, Jim & Leah Servais are the owners and operators of Academy of Dance & Music. Leah has 36 yrs. of experience, training with The National Ballet of Canada, and performing with them and The Milwaukee Ballet Company. Jim grew up playing different instruments in various orchestras and bands as well as teaching music. They saw a need for a dance & music school on the west side of Albuquerque and it has been well received since opening in the fall of 2007. They offer Ballet, Jazz lessons from age 3 to adult, and private music lessons in guitar with voice, saxophone, clarinet, flute and recorder from age 7 to adult. Small Class Sizes The smaller class sizes allow students to get more individual instruction from teachers, and as a result progress at a faster level than in a large class environment. The smaller class sizes also ensure that the teacher can catch any problems before they turn into bad habits or improper techniques.

Mission

We believe that introducing and enriching your child in dance and music is a wonderful gift that will last forever! Formal dance and music training helps to develop confidence and develops the brain. Dance teaches poise, promotes good posture, body alignment, musical awareness, and develops rhythm and coordination. Dance increases strength, flexibility and exercises cognitive abilities. Involvement in the many forms of dance allows the student to explore movement, music, and creative expression as they learn to dance in a structured environment. Dance is an athletic art form that strengthens the student mentally, physically and artistically. Our dancers of all ages and levels share one common factor, they love dancing at Academy of Dance and Music. Finally, we look to give all of our students the proper environment to learn dance with smaller class sizes, more personalized, one-on-one attention to the students, and professional instruction that is very affordable.
