From the reviews

My Wife and daughter light up just talking about the dance academy. I love the "feels like family" atmosphere.

I dance here from about age 11 through high school to Jr. Company. Wonder family atmosphere and amazing teachers. So many opportunities to learn fundamentals and performs at different events. Debra and Bruce run a top notch dance academy!

My 9yr old has been dancing here for 3 years and she loves it. The staff is excellent with the children. The teachers are wonderful role models. She is now 12 and she still loves being there! This years Daddy & Daughter Dance photo.

★★★★★ — Stacy, Jul 2023

I danced here from about fifth to eighth grade and I truly loved it. The people here were so nice, and so professional. I learned a lot. I really wish I still danced I miss it a lot. Everyone was so caring and so invested in dancing. I can't imagine anywhere that would have been better.

Your first ballet class at Detroit Windsor Dance Academy

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
