My daughter has been taking piano with Jeff for close to 2 years. Jeff is a fantastic piano teacher. 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 doesnt 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 childs 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 couldnt be happier at Michigan Academy and I also couldnt be happier that we found this studio.

My oldest daughter has been attending dance class here for 3 years and we absolutely LOVE it! Staff are friendly and professional and always make us feel welcome! My 3 year old will be starting in the fall and she cant wait! Even my son, who doesnt currently take a class, enjoys visiting because he knows he can always convince Miss Lisa or Miss Melissa to give him a sucker or 3 from behind the counter ;)

Dancing has become a lifestyle for me. While some people choose sedentary activities such as watching television, I would rather be dancing!!! Personally, dancing is a meaningful use of time and is an expression of my self-identity. I feel like I’m soaring whether I am practising dance steps at home daily, or whether I am enjoying a private weekly dance lesson at Michigan Academy.

My daughter has been with this studio for over 3 years now. I am so impressed with how much she has learned and grown, both in dance but as a responsible young adult. She used to be kind of shy but now she is very much an outgoing little person and her teachers have really helped develop that in her! All of the staff is fantastic and really love the kids. Its a fantastic studio!!

My 2 year old and I have so much fun during the dance and music class. I have also started their fitness classes that are offered in the evening. It has been a welcoming experience and we plan to attend for a long time!

I love this studio. Its a great atmosphere and the teachers really care about the kids. They also keep the little girls innocent and elegant while teaching the fundamentals.
