Amber Hemmer's Academy of Dance aka "AHA!" is celebrating it's seventh season. After opening in the Fall of 2005 with approximately 25 students, the studio continues to grow with over 100 students currently enrolled. Conveniently located on Route 23 in Cedar Grove, the studio draws students from Cedar Grove, Verona, The Caldwells, Montclair, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, and more. Students can take classes in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, and/or Tumbling. The studio was recently featured in Dance Studio Life Magazine. Last year, students participated in performances at Great Adventure's DanceFest and the end of year recital entitled "I've Had The Time of My Life" at Verona High School. Students are afforded the opportunity to attend various workshops with master instructors through Miss Amber's affiliation with Associated Dance Teachers of NJ and Dance Educators of America.
