About the Studio
Director’s Note
In 2022, I had the great joy of opening our doors here at Anne Kaye Academy of Dance!
Our incredible AKA team has been privileged to help dancers of all ages pursue their goals—and live out their dance dreams! We’re proud that our studio serves families in Saint Cloud, Lake Nona, and numerous surrounding communities.
As I write this, we are less than a week away from kicking off our 2024-2025 Dance Season! Opening AKA’s doors has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, but we are just getting started! We hope you’ll consider joining our incredible dance family!

Join our state of the art dance studio!
AKA is excited to welcome dancers into our state of the art studio! Our dance space is dedicated to helping dancers of all ages reach new heights. Whether you’re a lifelong dancer, or just beginning in your dance journey, this space is for you!
-
AKA’s dance studio is spacious, with two distinct dance studio rooms for classes and dance styles that require differently sized spaces. AKA offers students a combined 1600 sq. ft. in which to make their dance dreams come true!
-
Both studios are equipped with professional-grade sprung flooring with marley surface. Our flooring is the same used by the American Ballet Theatre to ensure decreased stress on dancer’s joints. This helps prevent injury and supports dancer’s long-term health and safety throughout their journey in dance.
-
A high-quality dance environment is critical to the success of our dancers. Both studios are equipped with large, lightweight, highly reflective mylar mirrors (rather than traditional glass mirrors) that reinforce learning while ensuring a safe environment.
-
For certain classes, AKA dancers utilize specialty mats and acrobatics equipment to ensure a safe learning environment for dancers of all ages, regardless of experience level.
