About New Castle Dance & Music Academy

Dance has been at the core of human civilization for centuries. Whether it is a celebrated part of a culture, or simply something done for pure enjoyment, there’s a wonderful feeling that one gets from the art of movement.

Our mission at New Castle Dance & Music Academy is to provide students of all levels with more than just dance classes, but a unique environment in which students can grow both mentally and physically as dancers. Our highly trained and skilled instructors have a wealth of experience in teaching and performing various styles and techniques.

CLASS SIZES

Because we are committed to being the best, we keep our class sizes small. We find the benefits of small classes include:

Personalized attention for each student.
Fundamental concepts are instilled before new techniques are taught.
Instructors can watch for and correct improper technique before it becomes a bad habit.

Students learn more and have more fun.

For over 45 years, families have made NCDMA their choice for the best dance and music training in Northern Delaware.

Testimonials

NCDMA has been our choice of dance studio for the last 18 years! I watched my daughters grow into beautiful dancers and build their self confidence through the studio’s teaching. Some of the teachers have changed through the years, but valuable dance techniques and life lessons were learned from all.
NCDMA has offered so many opportunities for special performances, outside of regular classes. My daughters have performed at senior centers and nursing homes, bringing the art of dance to our senior citizens. They’ve performed in Disney twice and on a cruise ship, along with numerous Nutcracker performances and too many recitals to count! Performing with the competition team has been such a valuable experience. Supporting all of the other dancers and striving to perform their personal best has always been the goal.
Along with performing, my daughter was also provided with teaching opportunities. She assists other dance teachers, helps run the dance camps and now teaches classes of her own.
As she begins to leave the performance aspect of dance and move into teaching, I can only hope that she will influence young dancers as her teachers have influenced her.
As I look back over the years, this has been a journey that has impacted all aspects of my daughters’ lives in a very positive way!
NCDMA, they teach more than just dance!
