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.

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!

This is the worst dance studio. The classes are way too…read moreovercrowded. No room to move, people crashing into each other, can't see the instructor. They don't put any limits on the class size and there are way too many people for the size of the room. The classes don't start on time because of the long line to get in and poor management. They will also require people to go through their beginner classes to get to the higher level classes even if they have experience and don't need them. They have rock bottom prices with their Groupon specials (which attracts a lot of people,) but it would be better to pay a little bit more to go to a professional studio.

I have my first experience at Dance Revolution last night. Jumped in on a Salsa level 2 class and…read morewhat a great space/ group of people/ and instructor. They hold all kinds of parties around town as well. It was a very affordable $8 ($7 with student ID) for not only one but up to 3 classes that evening (Salsa 2, Salsa 3, and Bachata) I've been looking for new ways to get exercise that aren't about the typical gym work out... and this one is a great fit.

TL/DR: This place is a high pressure money grab, zero attention to detail, extremely disorganized,…read moreand they round out the nonsense by charging your credit card for 16 weeks of classes without your authorization. First, I purchased a four class Groupon to test the waters with my finicky 4 year old. But the "auditions" to participate in their JUNE recital (five months away) were before the lessons even started. We were told that unless we paid the 16 week tuition before the lessons started, we couldn't participate in the recital. But then, a month later in I get an invoice showing a recital costume on it, because SURPRISE! Planning a 3 minute recital for a small group of four year olds doesn't actually require five months of vigorous planning. So much pressure to purchase over nothing. That was the first red flag that this place is a bust. Second, we started in late-January and two weeks in there was a snow day, then the following week they were closed for winter break. So within a month of the winter term starting, we had only had two lessons. Meanwhile, I'm getting emails reminding me to pay my balance pretty much since the first lesson. I started to wonder why they put their business on Groupon if they're not going to give people adequate time to decide if they want to commit and purchase their services? Red flag #2. Third, and this seems petty, but when I finally followed the link to see what my tuition balance was, I saw they spelled my daughter's name wrong. It's not a complicated spelling either, so I'm not sure what the issue was here. She was also put into a Wednesday class, when I clearly enrolled her in (and had been bringing her to) a Saturday class. My enrollment was done over the phone, so maybe the person I spoke to just wasn't listening to me. Either way, red flag #3. Forth, and the BIGGEST red flag was that they charged my credit card $200 without my authorization. To enroll in classes you need to provide a credit card number, but they promise nothing is charged without authorization. Up until now I was willing to just let all the nonsense go to see my daughter all cute up there on a stage. But now? No. This place is ridiculous, disorganized, and I will not be giving them my business. And I urge you to think twice before you give them yours, too.
