DWDA follows in the footsteps of many great artists as our students get to experience a professional stage where many stars have performed for their annual concert..

3 of our beautiful Alums/college grads who have great careers outside of dance, but still have the passion and love for our art form, and keep dancing in their lives.

Here we are on the Music Hall Stage, getting ready for our Annual Concert. Warming up together is classic! Feeling the synergy of each other creates beauty and excitement.

Being in our entry level, age appropriate classes; Introduction to Dance ages 4-5, and Pre-dance 6-7 provides an experience that will last a lifetime. Introduction to Dance is pictured.

Young dancers get a thrill of a lifetime as they dance on the Music Hall Stage, a stage graced by many ‘stars’.

Dancers love to have fun with their friends as they are waiting to take the stage. A lot of laughter takes place behind the scenes.

Many hours/years are spent at the ballet barre as one hones the skills of dance.

Detroit has many beautiful backdrops and settings for a photo shoot. Dancers in ‘Black Gold’, choreographed by Dr. Melanie Anastasia, NYC.

DWDA was thrilled to be sponsored by Toyota for the International Auto Show. Choreography by Debra White-Hunt (‘Obon”, and “Kokoro”)

These ladies in the Jr. company and Second Company have grace, fire, and soul, along with the ‘presence’, that only dancers exude.
