Five things to know about Shoreline’s new Academy of Music and Dance

Shoreline Academy of Music and Dance will open this fall

The Shoreline Academy of Music and Dance is slated to open its doors this fall, and here are five things they would like you to know.

1-    They are renovating the old Guitarville building on Highway 99, north of Costco, and they share a space with another family friendly Shoreline business, MakerLab Northwest! More fun for the whole family. If you haven’t seen that building in a while, you should drive by. It's looking great! 23931 Highway 99, 98026.

2-    They are installing professional “floating” Marley dance floors that rest on hundred of foam blocks, and are the same type of floors found in professional ballet theaters around the world. These floors reduce fatigue and injury.

3-    The academy owners are Ridgecrest residents (along with their 3 children and 2 dogs)! They also own the Ballard Academy of Music and Dance, which has served thousands of students since it opened in 2010. In fact, there are quite a few Shoreline families currently driving to the Ballard Academy to take dance and music lessons. A note to those families… your commute is about to get a lot shorter!

4-    There will always be a front desk person to assist you. Whether it's finding that perfect lesson time, or tracking down the right kind of ballet slippers, or helping you figure out what size guitar to get for your 8 year old, they will have you covered.

5-    The newly remodeled space will have multiple dance and music rooms so you can enroll two or more family members in classes at the same time, thus saving you lots of driving time! And btw... all academy instructors are university trained, background checked, and able to teach students of all ages! That's right... dad can take those guitar lessons he has been dreaming about while his little princess takes her ballet class.

They are currently in the permitting process and will be opening this fall. More information on the Shoreline Academy of Music and Dance here.
