Students will work on individual stunts at their own level

Programs-There are basically three tracks for dancers. A recreational track is generally the student that generally takes 1-2 classes per week. A combined track is generally the student that takes his/her dancing a little more seriously and may even compete in certain competition classes. An intensive track is generally the student that takes all of the foundational classes and many times multiple technique classes in some forms, competes or participates in the company, attends master classes, and is pursuing dance as his/her primary activity.

Prepaid Group Classes: The following rates are based on monthly prepaid tuition, any classes that are not prepaid by the first of the month are billed on at a drop in rate of $12 per class. Our pricing structure encourages students to take multiple disciplines for a more well rounded dance education.

Group Classes: Group classes have 5 or more students enrolled. Technique and recreational classes are $28 per month and Competition classes are $32 per month. We have lowered our monthly rates and dropped discounts for simplicity with the exception of our Gotta Dance Program. See below.
Gotta Dance Intensive Track: Gotta Dance package includes unlimited technique, recreational and competition group classes for $135 for one student, $200 for two students in a family, $255 for three students in a family.
Privates, duets, trios, quartet classes are available are considered premium classes and are charged separately.
Choreography-If you need choreography only, you may hire one of our instructors to choreograph a piece for a contracted price and rent studio space for continued rehearsal of the piece.
After School Faith-Based Homework & Hip Hop: Mon-Fri 3:30-5:20 pm (students may wait for ride in lobby til 6 pm) $200 per month, come a couple days a week or all five, it's up to you, students complete any homework assignments at the studio before they join the fun, a fun mix of hip hop and jazz, students that show a high level of interest and maturity may also get the chance to lead and choreograph under the supervision of our after school director. This program is faith based with encouraging and inspiring teachings that go beyond simply dance instruction. Any additional classes are charged at $20 for one student in the family, $18 if two students, $16 if three.
Size: All classes must have a minimum of 5 students to run. If there are less students and it is a group decision to keep the class the difference will be split among the students to equal a 6 student class or the length of the class may be reduced.
Student Showcase: Student Showcase gives each student in the class an opportunity to choreograph and set a short piece on the group to gain choreography and teaching experience. Students will also learn the concepts and elements of choreography. There will be a brief performance at the end of winter term for this class and one dance will be selected to be performed in the recital with costumes that the students have to create in class.

Performance Opportunities: Each term ends with a performance opportunity. Summer Term ends with a performance for our Onsite Registration Open House, Fall Term ends with our Holiday Showcase, Winter Term ends with our Student Showcase, and Spring Term ends with our Spring Recital. Competition students and Company members also perform at competitions and dance outings throughout Michigan and sometimes out of state.

Christian-Based, Worship & Liturgical-Christian based classes will incorporate Christian lyrics, music and themes.
