Michigan Academy Dance Company
* Mini Team
* Performance Team
* Pre-Professional Team
If you have the desire for your child to take their dance training beyond the recreational level, the Academy has three programs that offer additional training along with competitive dance opportunities. Our Mini Team, Performance Team and Pre-Professional Team members commit 1-4 days a week to their training in core genres of dance and will attend competitions and/or conventions in addition to performing in our recital performances each year. All Teams/Groups are given opportunities to participate in parades, local festivals, in-studio events, charity & benefit events, educational & middle school shows and other special performances.
Our goal is for our Performance Team and Company members to develop excellent technical dance skills while building exceptional work ethic and teamwork skills so we can help them acquire life skills that will follow them through every chapter of their teen and adult years. Teams/Groups are formed based on technical ability, performance quality, movement quality, and ability to learn and retain choreography. Age and potential for growth are also considered as we form our Company groups each season. If you would like additional information regarding our Performance Team & Company Program, please feel free to email us at info@academydanceandmusic.com.
