Atlanta Professional Dance Academy (APDA) is a pre-professional ballet training school located at 10700 Abbotts Bridge Road, Suite 100, Johns Creek, Georgia 30097, serving ambitious dancers throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. The academy’s stated mission is “Pre-Professional Training for the Ambitious Dancer,” and its program structure is designed to give serious students a clearly defined progression from introductory through competition-ready levels.
The academy offers four principal program tracks. Ballet for the Littles introduces very young beginners to foundational ballet concepts and movement vocabulary in an age-appropriate setting. Intermediate Ballet serves developing dancers who have established basic technique and are ready for more structured and demanding classwork. Pre-Professional Ballet is the academy’s most intensive track, preparing advanced students for performance, audition, and potential professional-level opportunities. Private and Supplemental Training rounds out the offerings for students who want individualized coaching alongside group class participation.
The academy operates on a year-round calendar, and enrollment for the 2026-2027 school season is open through a registration form available on the website. Faculty profiles are featured in a dedicated “Meet The Teachers” section, and a gallery of student dancers documents performance and training milestones across the year. Annual events include “Meet the Seniors” programming that recognizes graduating students in their final year at the academy, as well as special production opportunities such as the “Jasmine Flower” performance, which gives students performance experience in a produced setting.
Private and Supplemental Training is available for students seeking additional focus on technique, audition preparation, or coaching that complements training at another studio, making APDA a resource for dancers beyond its own full-time enrollment.
APDA maintains an active presence across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and WeChat/Red Notes. Johns Creek sits in the northern Atlanta metro, placing the academy within reach of families in Duluth, Alpharetta, Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Cumming, and surrounding communities seeking pre-professional ballet training.
