Every dancer rises into a new season.
At the end of each dance year, every ADS student is tested, celebrated, and guided to their next step. It's how dancers climb the Rising Star Institute ladder, one season at a time.
Three steps into the next season
- Step 1
Syllabus Test & Evaluation
Each dancer takes a year-end syllabus test. Families receive a written evaluation showing how much their dancer improved this year, plus a prescription of the classes that will help them grow next season.
- Step 2
Rise Graduation Trophy Presentation
Every student is called by name, crosses over the bridge, and walks under the star arch into a new season, trophy in hand, while families cheer.
- Step 3
Red Carpet Registration Week
An open house where families roll out the red carpet for the year ahead: the new class schedule, new clubs, new events, and every new opportunity waiting for their dancer.
Over the bridge, under the arch
Every dancer who passes the syllabus test receives a certificate and a trophy. The bridge and the star arch mark the moment a dancer moves up. Little ones in their first tap shoes, juniors earning their next level, and teens heading toward Senior Elite Legacy all make the same proud walk. Every dancer leaves with a trophy and a clear goal for next year.
- Every student is recognizedNot just the top dancers. Everyone who did the work is celebrated.
- A written evaluation goes homeFamilies see real progress and know exactly what comes next.
- A path up the ladderEach season builds on the last, from Twinkle Stars to Senior Elite Legacy.
Your first look at next season
Right after graduation, we host an open house for every family. Our teachers walk you through the new schedule, introduce new clubs and events, and help you choose the classes from your dancer's evaluation. It's the easiest time of year to register and save your spot.
Proud dancers, proud teachers
