STUDIO BENEFITS

As quoted in our mission statement,
"we are dedicated to educate the general public to better understand and appreciate dance in its many forms."
We do this in many ways within the studio and in the community as well.


Dads and Daughters 2003
FATHER/DAUGHTER DANCE:
Since 1994, we have offered a father/daughter dance. Although not all age groups perform every year (some dads need a year off to finish remodeling projects around the house), our presentation has become an annual signature event.

Some past numbers have included "Greased Lightning" from Grease, "I Don't Need Anyone But You" from Annie, "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie, "The Michigan Fight Song" and "Steppin' Out With My Baby" from Easter Parade.

BADGE ACHIEVEMENTS:
We will happy to help dancers and their siblings earn Girl Scout and Boy Scout badges and achievement pins for the performing arts and drama. We will provide such programs for folks not enrolled at our studio for $25 per lecture/demonstration.
MOVIE NIGHT:
Held in the cold winter months, we invite family and friends to a full night of movie watching. We show the classics like Singing in the Rain or Annie and mix in some new work as well (Morris, Tharp, etc). There is no charge. We invite our recent alumni back for an evening of visiting old friends.
MUSIC DUBBING:
We are happy to copy your child's dance music onto cassette tape throughout the year at no charge. They can then use the music to show their dances to relatives during holidays, church events and talent shows.
REASONABLE RECITALS:
To make our annual spring shows more enjoyable, we limit our concerts to two hours. The concert is varied with music, dance styles and levels! We have been told that our shows are VERY entertaining! Our ticket prices range from $10-$14 depending on the theatre.
SENIOR TRIPS:
Since 1996, we reward a senior student's commitment to dance by offering an exciting trip to New York City. Students look forward to this trip as soon as they hear that it is offered. Parents are ALWAYS welcome to join us. The cost of the trip is very reasonable. The souvenirs are another story!
DANCE CAMPS:
Each summer, students can participate in an outstanding week-long day camp at the studio where they explore, in depth, dance in its many forms. Students gain a basic understanding of choreography, technique and production. Field trips to area dance companies and theatres are also included. These camps are open to everyone.
