ADI's School Orientation Information
Hello Dancers,
I am so happy to have you all as part of our ADI family! We appreciate your business and strive to make your time at ADI fulfilling.
CLASS INFORMATION
MISSED CLASSES: If you miss a class you are welcome to schedule a makeup class in any class of the same level or lower at any of our locations. Makeups must be done before the end of the session you are enrolled in and cannot be carried over to the next session. You are welcome to make up classes ahead of time if you know you will miss some.
DRESS CODES: Here is our dress code page. Attire can be purchased at Centerstage Capezio, located at 5261 University Ave NE Seattle 98105, or online at discountdance.com and please use school code TP120018. If it will fit, hair should be pulled back in a ponytail for all ather classes. or a bun for ballet classes.
SWAP BOX: We have a swap box of outgrown ballet slippers, tap and jazz shoes, dress code class leotards, and tights. Feel free to pop and have a look if you are in need of dance wear. If there is something in the box that fits you or your dancer, go ahead and take it. There is no cost associated with the swap, and you don’t have to put something in to take something out. If it fits, it’s up for grabs. We welcome your donations as well. Reduce, reuse, recycle - it’s good for the planet and good for our pockets.
PERFORMANCES: ADI does in-house recitals for our Creative and Pre-level programs in June and an informal watch day of Fall classes at the end of January/beginning of February. There is no additional cost associated with our in-house recitals. For in-studio performances and class observations, we set up chairs in the studio for you to watch your child’s class up close and personal, take pictures, videos, etc. Dancers enrolled in our Children’s, Junior/Teen and some adult classes have the option to perform in a mixed program in June held at Ingraham School Auditorium. Many of our adult and upper level students also have the option to perform at an annual in-studio showcase.
Additionally, Pre-Ballet and Ballet students ages 6-17 have the opportunity to audition for Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet to be performed at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Seattle on Sunday November 16, 2025.
STUDIO LOCATIONS
Greenwood
OUR FACILITIES: We have two studios in the same building. Studio #1’s address is 8001 Greenwood Ave N; Studio #2’s address is 8007 Greenwood Ave N. Dancers use the back doors of the building to gain entrance to each studio so we can keep street shoes off the dance floor. There is a parent viewing area in the back of each studio. Each studio has a restroom on the main floor. There are cubbies for the dancers to put their street shoes. The office is in the small, detached building behind the studios. There is an additional restroom and changing rooms in the office. If you have not been to our facility before, please come to the office when you arrive and one of our office staff can show you around and get you situated.
PARKING: There is a small gravel parking area behind the studio which can accommodate five cars. It can accommodate small to mid-size vehicles only soplease donlt park SUV's. If you don’t snag a spot in back, there is street parking on both sides of Greenwood Ave N, on N 81st Street, and on N 80th Street along St. John school. When you park on the street, we also ask that you park smart and pull up or back close to another parked car so as not to leave valuable parking space unavailable. If we all do our part, we can mitigate our parking impact on the residents of our wonderful neighborhood. Please do not stop in the alley and walk your child to class. It is not safe and impedes traffic coming through
