Where to begin? Let me start by reassuring you that Glenn Clark IS AN AMAZING TEACHER, PROFESSIONAL AND TOP NOTCH COMPETITON COACH AND CHOREOGRAPHER. If you are considering ballroom dance lessons, whether it be for fun, social enrichment or to become a competitive champion, Glenn Clark is the perfect teacher for you! He works incredibly well with dancers of all levels and ages. I have been a dancer, competitive and professional collegiate cheerleader and dance coach myself. Looking at how he teaches my daughter and coaches her for both pro/am and am/am competition, I am in complete awe! He has this special way of teaching that makes his students feel able and confident and prepares them for whatever level they are shooting for, even down to the finger tip, toe placement and tilt of the head! Glenn Clark teaches private lessons, partners and very, very large groups- from 6 yrs of age all the way up to those in their late 80's... SEVEN DAYS A WEEK! I am certain that you will be so happy to meet Glenn and any of his students. I encourage you to drop in the studio and catch a glance and this amazing man in action! Glenn, you have changed our lives forever and have given my daughter a life of competitive dance that she can continue through college (hopefully getting a dance scholarship :) and beyond. We are so very grateful for you!!!! Julie G. read more

I want to thank Glenn for his influence through the years in helping to develop my current passion for dancing. Anxious and excited to learn as much about dancing as we could, my partner and I began taking private lessons with Glenn on a regular basis. We were also taking Glenn's group lessons as well as other group lessons taught by other instructors at the studio. We were both overwhelmed with the myriad of patterns presented to us, but at the same time challenged to do our best. My partner was easily frustrated and Glenn was always the calm in the wake of a storm. He patiently worked with us on the amalgamations and techniques we were struggling learning. He made dancing enjoyable and we always looked forward to our next lesson or group class. Having been a teacher myself, I was extremely impressed with Glenn's experience and remarkable patience. His constant encouragement coupled with his professionalism and compassion for dancing motivated me to practice many hours and strive to excel. Glenn was always timely, flexible in scheduling private lessons, and extremely dedicated. He was able to articulate in a meaningful way the skills he was teaching and helped me advance in dancing and I am truly grateful! read more

I have been taking private dance lessons from Glenn for over two years. I am thoroughly pleased with his instruction along with detail to the dance steps, which I wasn't getting from the studio I came from. People learn at different paces, and Glenn has been both patient and fun with his instruction. I was with another studio for two years prior to taking lessons at Stardust (Glenn's studio), and I was able to learn 4 times as much in one lesson with Glenn, as I was able to learn at the other studio. Additionally, Glenn is a coach, whereas I had to pay an additional fee for coaching sessions at the other studio. Not necessary with Glenn unless you move on to higher level competitions. I can get the same information from Glenn as I received from a coach at the other studio. I'm sure this comes with the years of experience that Glenn has. So all in all, a dancer can really get their money's worth by taking lessons with Glenn. He also did an exceptional job choreographing our dance for last year's Showcase. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with his instruction. He has a great reputation within the dancing community and has a large following of students. I'm one happy dancer!! read more

Glenn is an amazing instructor with a great sense of rhythm and understanding of music and the capabilities of his students. Over the years I've taken private and group lessons with him. I've had other instructors over the past 20 years; however, I find myself always going back to Glenn. Private instruction has made a difference in my confidence and my ability as a social dancer. As for group instruction, Glenn shows a lot of patience with all of us seniors, taking into account the various levels of dance ability and experience, our ages and what we're capable of achieving. Glenn makes learning to become a better dancer affordable and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Grade-A instructor. As a retired teacher, I can appreciate Glenn's technique in instructing and choreographing, his ability to listen to his students and work with them at mastering various dance routines and choosing the right dance music. Glenn stands behind his reputation as being top in his field! read more

I'm a studio owner of another dance studio. We have been inviting Glenn Clark to teach various workshops as well as giving coaching lessons to our competitive dancers. Every student was very pleased with Glenn's instructions, his attention to details and their individual needs. I agree that he is very patient, considerate, warm, friendly and funny. I like that he can adapt his teaching and present new material in multi layered format so that everyone learns according to their level. He appears to be very calm despite any troubles around him. He is an excellent teacher/dancer during high peak hours and very respectful of other instructors sharing the floor. I highly recommend Mr. Clark for anyone who wants to take up dancing, especially for competitive dancing! read more

My husband and I have been taking social ballroom dance classes with Glen Clark at the Dance Elite Ballroom Studio on Wednesday evenings. I cannot say enough about him! He is professional, warm, patient, talented and frequently funny. He is also passionate about dancing, and teaching you to do so, at whatever level you are shooting for. He makes his students feel welcome and comfortable learning something new and challenging. We look forward to every Wednesday evening to learn a new dance style or new dance patterns to add to what we already know. We highly recommend anyone, with or without dance experience, to take Glen's social ballroom dance class. He is such a wonderful and sweet person who will make you fall in love with ballroom dancing! read more

I have been taking dance lessons with Mr. Glenn for about five years now and he is the best teacher in the world! I have taken both private and group classes with him. He is very patient, considerate, warm, friendly and very funny. He makes lessons a lot of fun. He makes sure that everyone understands everything and will repeat as many times as it takes for everyone to remember the grouping or the choreography. He is very passionate about dancing and teaching. And you can feel that when you're around him. I highly recommend Mr. Glenn for anyone who wants to take up dancing. Even if you're an experienced dancer he will help you become better! read more

Glenn is a wonderful teacher, and you'll see all the best area teachers in this ballroom. He is attentive and humorous, and he does not give praise where it is not due. You can't learn if you think you are perfect. His instruction is as personal as it gets, and he knows your dancing self better than you do. He himself is a lovely dancer and a model for male dancers anywhere. He can teach the man or the lady equally well. His scholarship in the latest dance trends is impeccable, and the music he plays is eclectic, in a few different languages, and the envy of dance DJs. read more

The Stardust Balrlroom gives so much to all of us who dance. Not only can we sign up for truly private 1:1 dance lessons, we also have the opportunity to practice our dancing in both group lessons and open dancing. Glenn is a wonderful teacher who takes us from where we are and helps us build a strong foundation from which we can then compete. It has been my delight to have him as my teacher as I improve each time I dance. It's so much fun! read more

We had a great experience thanks to Glenn Clark and his staff for a very fun evening. We had an excellent one hour lesson that gave us the basics of ballroom then we enjoyed a very fun dance party with refreshments afterwards. We are looking forward to our next lesson. I would highly recommend this dance studio to anyone whether they're just beginning, intermediate or looking to move up to that next level. Joseph and Patrizia Trupiano read more

We love Glenn. We had a great teacher before but since we are working with Glenn we improved a lot. Just this month we danced at a competition and strangers came up to us and told us that we had become so much better since the last competition. All his work! And still with a lot of fun (otherwise my husband would quit dancing...!) And the Friday night party feels like a night out with friends, very informal and welcoming. Great studio! read more

My wife and I have been taking lessons (private and group) with Glenn Clark at Stardust/Dance Elite for the past 5 years. We have been very happy over the years, and his open dance nights give a chance to practice "in the wild". Unfortunately, after 19 years at the Haggerty Road location, Glenn lost his lease on the studio and it closed Jan 26, 2019. He moved his maple dance floor to Loretta's on Orchard Lake Road in Keego Harbor. read more

I have been attending Stardust Ballroom and working with Glenn Clark for close to 10 years. Glenn is an excellent instructor with a passion for helping people. His ability to explain and demonstrate technique is outstanding. He is very encouraging, with the ability to bring out your best. I also enjoy the Friday evening dance parties. Lots of good people and a fun place to be. read more

I have been taking lessons with Glenn for some time now. My partner and I have learned 11 dances from Glenn, and with only one lesson per week we can hold our own on all 11! He is very talented, great with ladies and men, and very pleasant. He teaches with great patience and a fabulous sense of humor. Stardust and Glenn are highly recommended. read more
