Michigan Academy of Dance and Music

In Michigan Academy of Dance and Music's 5,500-square-foot facility, which is located minutes away from Ann Arbor, certified and experienced instructors make savvy smooth steppers out of novice dancers. The center's three dance studios are equipped with floating, sprung floors to reduce fatigue, injuries, and curiosity about where slinkies go to retire. After tapping curser toes over the schedule, pintsize patrons can jump into the tumbling and hip-hop classes to bounce away energy and join the ballet classes (available in four levels) to add elegance to everyday movements. Happy Dancin' Feet classes introduce dancers ages 2–5 to the art, and jazz sessions tutor toe-pointing pupils on the union of movement and beat. Other styles of dance taught include tap and competition dance, and students of all ages are welcome.
