Vision Dance Center (formerly American Ballet Academy) was founded in 2004 and is directed by Michelle Wright. Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year ABA will be known as Vision Dance Center, due to our expanded studio and curriculum along with our competitively successful dance competition team.
