The only possible complaint I could have is the small floor size (and for most dance studios, it's…read moremore than adequate-I'm just spoiled!) The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the students are welcoming to newcomers-no cattiness or backbiting here. Child-friendly, including instructors willing to teach young children. Lots of options for group classes, including fitness and adult ballet. The two annual showcases are a ton of fun and Starlite Ball is held at the Century Center--feels like dancing on a huge stage. For competitors, not only are the regular teachers fantastic, the visiting coaches, including Ray Rivers and Elena Grineko, are way above the quality one might expect in the suburban Midwest. The parties are great, with plenty of good music, and there's even a "newcomer" party for students not quite ready to jump into dancing with strangers. If you're looking for ballroom/Latin dance instruction in the South Bend area, give Dancesport a call!

Oh my goodness... fell in love with this place tonight!…read more I have been fruitlessly searching for a quality Hip Hop class for a long time now ... each time I would sign up for one it ended up being cancelled bc not enough people registered. Finally... I FOUND A CLASS and it is a fantastic studio that I HIGHLY recommend. Dance Theatre Studio is right in the heart of U of M's campus. It is a second story location above Moe's sporting goods store. Great walkable area if you want to grab a bite or a drink after classes. It is a narrow spot and it was very very crowded in the waiting area, yet it is truly a wonderful space! They have an office in the sort of attic upstairs, and the man who I think owns the place is so so sweet- his name is John. He was helpful, and kind, and very endearing. There are 3 studio spaces A, B, and C. There are also small changing areas for men and women. Studios A and B are larger- C is a smaller space. They offer so many classes here .... Zumba, Cardio Barre, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Pilates, Body Sculpting,Tap ...for ALL different skill levels and ages. I personally am taking a Hip Hop class and I can't wait to continue classes here for years to come.It is a very well organized studio and it has a really helpful and easy website which I appreciate. My first class was SO fun !!! The instructor was not only a talented dancer and teacher - she was great at amping up the energy of the class and making everyone comfortable. Class starts out with a warm up - including crunches, plank, push ups. We learned great choreography to fun music and then cooled down and stretched. I'm so thrilled to have discovered this place... if you've ever thought about taking dance you should totally try it !!!!!

I stopped in for the Intermediate Jazz class with Michelle while I was visiting from the Bay Area…read more Really good! I'm a modern dancer without a lot of jazz experience, so I was a little worried about jumping into an intermediate class at a studio I wasn't familiar with, but everyone was super welcoming. The class was fast-paced and mostly regulars. I would be cautious of coming to this particular class if you don't have some experience, because I could see it being frustrating. Michelle didn't take a lot of time to offer corrections and taught the choreography quickly, but not too quickly for the class -- everyone was at least getting a sketch of it, but everyone also seemed challenged by it (I was!). She seemed to have a good sense of what parts were difficult for the class in the moment. She also picked some rad music. I would totally go back if I lived here!

I had the opportunity to attend the Ballroom Monday drop-in class, while I was in town for a few…read moreweeks. I have never received dance lessons before, so I was a bit nervous. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed; I was greeted by the instructor and follow dancers. No partner; no problem. The way they teach the class, you do not need a partner. You actually learn the dance is phases and you go down the line and practice with a different partner each time. Being new at this and knowing I have coordination issues, I never felt I was being singled out for messing up. If I had a question or asked to see it again, it was not a bother. All the participants are very understanding and accepting. The practice dance portion of the class allows you to practice what you learned or dance a different style. Again no partner; no problem. Those that attend the class are so friendly and willing to teach others, that you will be on the dance floor more than you thought!! I highly recommend taking lessons here. I went back for several Ballroom Mondays and even tried the Westie Thursdays.

The varied types of dance offered make it unique for the area. The littlest kids take combo classes, getting exposure to both ballet and tap. The option to try acro and bop hop are available for little ones who want to expend their energy on styles outside of the traditional dance realm. I will encourage my daughter to continue here as long as she enjoys dancing.

My daughter has been taking piano with Jeff for close to 2 years. Jeff is a fantastic piano…read moreteacher. He teaches her workbook chords, classical pieces and current radio songs. She certainly gets a lot of variety. He goes above and beyond to arrange music to her level by either enhancing a piece or simplifying it for her. If she doesn't have the music for a song they wish to work on, he has gone out of his way to hunt down the music, and then arrange it individually for her. I especially love the duets they do together on the piano, but in addition, she certainly learns pieces by herself. He has taken a child who knew absolutely nothing about playing piano, and turned her into to a child learning songs using both hands simultaneously. The studio has private practice rooms with a window in the door. I am able to peek in on her lesson at any time I wish to see how she is doing. Jeff also explains to me as a parent what she should be working on at home, and how she is progressing. My daughter also started dance at Michigan Academy this past fall. Michigan Academy went out of their way to welcome her also as a dance student. Mrs. Lisa and all the dance teachers are extremely approachable. I can not even put into words how refreshing that is. When choosing a dance studio, I have learned that it is extremely important to know that the staff are approachable. They really welcome all questions and take their time with all students and their families in a professional manner. This makes for a comfortable environment that students thrive in, and parents also feel comfortable because we as parents are never left in the dark and everything is always explained. Truly stress free. You can tell immediately that they really truly care about all students in regards to their dance education, empowering the child's self esteem, and helping them grow as individuals, even outside of dance. The dance teachers at Michigan Academy also go above and beyond. Recently, when my daughter asked what she could work on at home to improve, Mrs.Rebecca went out of her way and made a list of ideas for her that she could do at home. She gave her suggestions, such as, straddle split rolls and barre work that she could do on her own time. As you can see, the dance teachers really take the time to help the students with their individual dance goals. Michigan Academy is a place for all ages and all levels! Every student is welcomed, appreciated, and celebrated. I highly recommend Michigan Academy to any child interested in dance or music. My daughter couldn't be happier at Michigan Academy and I also couldn't be happier that we found this studio.

Proceed with caution before signing your child up!!!!…read more I called the studio numerous times and left voicemails requesting a returned telephone call regarding being over charged several months in a row after the season ended. I called for months without any returned call, so I contacted the "facebook page". The owner Kate Price finally responded after deleting my review about my experience with the Academy of the Arts. Kate Price "owner/director" responded via Facebook she would personally look into the situation the following day (6/16/13) and call me. Needless to say I have yet to receive my refund or even the "assured" telephone call from Kate Price. Let alone a simple apology for the mistake, which would have gone a long way. Instead Kate Price used terms "IF you called and left a voicemail" and "IF you were overcharged". I find it very offensive questioning my integrity after I have tried to deal with this for several months. This was common throughout the year too. No one ever answered the phone or returned voicemails regarding lessons. I drove from West Bloomfield and took a half day off work to watch my niece practice, whose lessons I pay for as a present. I called prior to making the trip and of course no one called me back. Upon my arrival the staff was extremely rude and wouldn't allow me to watch practice despite my travel and service I pay for. The "end of the year" performance was a joke. They charged 10.00 a person (including my 3 year old daughter) to sit in a high school gymnasium hard bleachers, that was too hot and crowded with no air flow. It was very unorganized and hours sitting around watching other people's children and your own perform for 3 minutes. Once it was finally your child's turn to perform you had to go sit on the gym floor to even see her or capture a photo. This was all on top of an 85.00 leotard that was very basic, nothing special or flashy for the "End of the Year" performance. I would not recommend the Jackson Academy of Arts to anyone. You are paying for is the "name". They did a wonderful job creating their webpage to make the place look top notch. There are much better studios in the Jackson area with much better experienced and friendly staff. I would give Academy of the Arts and Kate Price "owner/director" NO STARS.
