About Our Dance Studio in Tenafly, NJ

Revolution Dance Academy is a dance studio in Tenafly, NJ built on a 2-decade friendship between co-owners Rachel and Emma. The two first met in preschool, began dancing competitively on the same team by age 8, and trained alongside one another through senior year of high school and into adulthood. They have always found inspiration in one another, and their mutual passion for dance ignited the vision for RDA.

Why Dance With RDA?

RDA prides itself on making sure every child who steps into the studio feels valued and respected, regardless of their background or skill level. This creates a supportive community where dancers can exceed their limitations and reach for the stars. Along with high-quality dance instruction, we teach passion.

By nurturing the joy of dance in our students, RDA also teaches dedication, commitment, resilience, and confidence. We are all about inspiring one another, pushing boundaries, and growing stronger together, both physically and mentally. Your child engages in an activity that is physical, keeps them off their screens, and ignites creativity, all while getting top-notch training.

More Than a Studio:

The RDA Community

What families notice first at RDA is not the technique, it is the feeling in the room. Dancers arrive as classmates and leave as friends. Parents who met in the waiting area end up sitting together at the recital. Older dancers look out for the little ones warming up beside them.

That community shows up all year. Our dancers cheer each other on at competitions, celebrate birthdays and milestones together, and take the stage side by side at the year-end recital. Studio events bring whole families in, not just dancers, because the people in this building are a big part of why our students stay season after season.

For families new to Tenafly or to dance, RDA is often the first place their child finds a group of their own. That is the part we are proudest of.
