Thank you for visiting our site. Hampton Academy of Music, Dance, and Drama, Inc. has a history of being located in Hampton for 42 years. The academy was initially known as “R-D Music Studio, Inc.” established in 1983. Music classes included instruction in piano, flute, percussion, clarinet, and saxophone. In 2000, we moved to our current location and the name was changed to “EduStar Academy of the Performing Arts, Inc.” in 1999. The larger facility allowed us to include dance as well as drama instruction. The final name change to Hampton Academy occurred in 2013 and we have been at our current location for 25 years. Our basic goal, since our conception, has always been to expand our community’s cultural base.
