Academy of Dance is a Racine dance school focused on individualized training for students from age two through adulthood. Its program emphasizes personal development over a one-size-fits-all approach, with class structures that progress from shorter sessions for young children to longer, more focused study as dancers mature. Led by owner, director, and teacher Kelli Bertone, who began dancing in Racine at age two, the studio draws on a strong foundation in dance education and jazz technique. Performance is a central part of the school’s identity, reflected in its history of choreography, stage preparation, and connections to local pageant and performing arts work.
