Things to Do in Benton Harbor

At the Colorado Academy of Music and Dance, experienced instructors cultivate students' passion for the performing arts. Kids aged 2–4 hone their coordination, balance, and rhythm skills in group dance classes such as the Pre-Dance/Acrobatics program, and adults burn calories in high-energy hip-hop sessions. Students of any age can build their endurance and flexibility with high-energy Brazilian capoeira—a mix of martial arts, dance, and acrobatics—sessions that also include instruction on speaking basic Portuguese and playing Afro-Brazilian instruments. The facility's sprung floors with professional marley surfaces help prevent injury and protect joins by absorbing dancers' impact.

The academy's university-trained music teachers conduct private lessons for youngsters seeking to learn the guitar, study singing, or play the mandolin at a local battle of the medieval bands. Parents can sit in on the lesson or access complimentary wireless Internet as they relax in the spacious waiting area.

One of the only dance studio franchises in the state of Florida to specialize in Latin dance, Aventura employs world-class instructors to transform left feet into debonair dancers in a range of classes. Pop, lock, and drop in hip-hop, or gambol with grace in salsa, a combination of African and European influences that add spice to dance floors littered with fallen tortilla chips. U.S. champion dancers Jerry Perez and Christine Lopez help students romance the mailman with the Argentine tango, and stomachs swivel and sway in belly dancing. Sweat-stimulating workout classes, such as Latin Fit, burn calories as students bust a move—be it a rumba move, a merengue move, or a well-coordinated move to a nicer part of town, away from that mouthy opossum that keeps stealing the mail. The class schedule offers sessions on weekday evenings and in the afternoons on weekends. Aventura's spacious studios offer plenty of room for students to glide across sleek hardwood floors and past mirrored walls to perfect steps or engage their reflection in an endless Möbius strip dance battle.
