Dance Lessons for Students 2.5 - Adult
We offer instruction in tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, point, contemporary, preschool and musical theater dance from some of the best instructors in West Michigan!
These days, people love to watch other people dance. Competitive dance shows, such as So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars are dominating the world of reality television. What you may not realize, however, is that if you get off the couch and dance yourself, it’s a great way to keep your body and mind healthy.
Studies show that dancing offers a wide range of benefits, including helping you develop self-confidence, lose weight, and train both sides of your brain. It also lets you stay flexible, reduce stress, and make friends.
