Miami Dance and Music Academy

Miami Dance and Music Academy is a 6,000 square foot dance and music school at 8761 Coral Way, in the Coral Way Plaza area west of Coral Gables. Classes cap at 12 dancers, and the studio teaches ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, kindergarten dance and acrobatics, plus private piano, voice and percussion lessons.

Group voice classes are also offered. The studio has marley floors, one-way glass observation windows, and TVs in the lobby so parents can watch class without disrupting it, and desk staff are on hand during class hours.

Guests describe passionate, patient instructors, a welcoming front desk, and a clean space where kids build confidence, with some families staying a decade or more. The academy runs seasonal dance camps, summer and fall class schedules, an annual June recital and competition teams.

Hours run afternoons into the evening on weekdays and Saturday mornings, with Sundays closed. This is a place to enroll, not a walk-in attraction, so check the schedule and fees on the studio's site before visiting.
