We offer recreational and competitive classes for all ages and levels of ability. For our competitive program, we do not do auditions, we do evaluations.

Parent/student Portal

We have adopted a new studio office service with a great vendor called Class Manager. They provide a powerful online registration platform with effective communication tools and much more. They help take care of the logistics so studios can keep their focus on what matters most — engaging with their students and fostering their love for dance. This makes for a seamless experience with registering, billing, and communication. See the link below to login into the portal.

Training & Instruction

Our dance studio is home to the best and brightest instructors in the Greater Lansing area. With experience spanning decades and unparalleled talent, you’ll find incredible leadership and guidance in our dance instructors. A primary responsibility of dance teachers is technical instruction. However, this task does not simply involve demonstrating a particular technical skill, then having the dancers perform it. Rather, instruction is a complex interaction of physical, motor, psychological, and communication skills that occur between the dance teacher and dancers. As a result of this complexity, the education of teachers in the learning process is essential for sound teaching and effective skill acquisition. Our staff is always learning and developing new ways to train and instruct.
