Dance classes focused on creativity, collaboration, and building connections. Our approach to learning helps students develop as dancers, creators, and collaborators.
New Location Coming Soon!
We are SO excited to announce that we will be opening our very first brick and mortar dance studio!! Our new home will be located at 6540 Millennium Dr. Suite 100 Lansing.
With a grateful and excited heart we are thrilled to have a new space of our own for our continually growing program where we will be able to offer more to our amazing Delta Township and Greater Lansing communities!
Degreed + Professional Teachers
All of our instructors hold degrees in dance, dance certifications, or equivalent professional dance experience and higher level training.
Learn more than just steps
In each class dancers focus on a broader dance concept. They then apply this concept to their technique and artistry. When students understand and incorporate these concepts into their dancing, the connection between their mind and body grow.
Introducing THREE levels of Dance Company!
This is a non-competitive performance dance company. Three different leveled companies. A year-long commitment for dancers ages 6-18yrs who are interested in more in depth training, more performance opportunities, and a team-like environment.
Our focus is on artistic expression and fostering community
