Spotlight Dance Works 586-949-5630

Dear Dancer,

Spotlight Dance Works is in its 22nd season and has earned itself a reputation as a studio committed to quality, originality in choreography, strong technique, performance and dancers who possess a greater understanding of movement. Our dancers have been awarded top honors and scholarships for dance at University of Michigan, Oakland University, Western Michigan University, Wayne State University, Columbia College Chicago, and The Julliard School New York!!! Our students have danced in many of the local district’s Varsity Dance teams and have gone on to dance on the Varsity Dance Teams at the University of Michigan, Michigan State, Oakland and Western Michigan University.

Our company staff has performed with the Joffrey Ballet New York, University of Michigan Dance Company, Wayne State University Dance Company, Columbia College Chicago, Detroit Piston’s Automotion Dance Team, Pointe Park University and all had college level dance training as well as professional level dance training. When your dancer takes technique lessons with us, they will learn more than just a dance routine, they will learn to be A DANCER!

So thank you for inquiring about dance at Spotlight Dance Works. Enclosed is a copy of our fall schedule.
I will list some basic information for you, but if you have any questions, please feel free to call.
