3 Best Dance Schools in Detroit, MI

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.

Never been, but my older sister went here. And I barely remember going to her one of her dance recitals. I was 2 or 3 at the time.

So glad to have ArtLabJ in the neighborhood, the summer and school camps are a great balance of education, learning, art, and fun. I really appreciate how ArtLabJ connects with other local jewels, like the nearby library, garden, and playground. All the staff are so kind and patient, our kid has learned so much there.

We held our kiddo’s 6th birthday party here at Artlab J. We most highly recommend it! Everyone had a fantastic time, with a variety of activities: art, movement, nourishment and sound. Joori is so dynamic and inspiring. The only hiccups were our own, and she pivoted seemingly effortlessly. Best party ever! Our kiddo loved every minute.

As a guy completely new to dance, I was a little nervous about starting ballet & contemporary classes. But, artlabj's instructors provided a very inclusive environment where I was able to learn without feeling pressured at all, in an area way outside of my comfort zone. I felt like every student--even the ones with prior dance experience--were able to take something away from every session. Would definitely recommend their adult classes to anyone looking!
