Welcome New Zumbini Instructor and New Zumbini Class Themes!

Welcome Miss Kayleigh!

Some of you may recognize Miss Kayleigh from her time working at the desk while Miss Lindsey was on maternity leave. She is now our new Zumbini instructor and we are so excited for you to experience her nurturing and organized Zumbini classes! Not only will she be offering your favorite “Kalino Finds the Music” and “Hili and the Dance”, she will also be offering 2 new class themes! Be sure to check out “TJ and His PJs” and “No Way Jose” for some fun, new content!

Here’s a little bit about Miss Kayleigh:

“Kayleigh Hinkson has been involved in the performing arts her entire life through Musical Theatre and Choir, which grew into a passion to share about the joy and confidence it can instill, especially in children. She received her degree in Childhood Development in 2016, specializing in working with children ages birth through 4, but has worked with children at every age from birth to high school. During school, she served as Director of her church's Children's Special Needs Ministry and completed their internship in Family and Children's Ministry. Since then, she also spent 2.5 years in Dallas, Texas studying Biblical studies and ministry with her husband where they served as Co-Directors of their church's Youth Ministry program. She has one daughter who is a student at Allegro Dance and is so excited to instill a love of learning through play, music and dance in your children!”

Allegro Dance Goes Virtual!

All of us at Allegro Dance are missing our dance families so much during this difficult time of quarantine due to COVID 19. Today we launched virtual privates as a way to stay connected to our students and to help them continue to improve and move while they are stuck at home! Miss Jenn loved seeing some of her dedicated students and working with them even if it was over a computer. If you are interested in a virtual private during this tough time, please email us at jenn@allegrodancemi.com. We cannot wait to see ALL of our dancers back at the studio as soon as possible! Until then, stay positive and keep dancing!

Allegro Dance will turn 3 in April and we are so proud of the studio it has become and the families it has welcomed! We launched our website in April 2016 and by August 2016 we ran our first Swan Lake Ballet Camp. In September 2016, we opened our doors for our first official season of dance. At that time, we had 6 weekly classes on the schedule and finished our first season with 21 kids. Now almost 3 years later and with a remodeled space to enjoy, we are finishing our 3rd full season of classes with 30 weekly classes and 405 students!! Wow!

As we continue to grow and open registration up for the 2019-2020 dance season, it is exciting for us to be able to add new class options and levels for our students. Here’s what is coming for the 2019-2020 season:

  • 10-13 year old classes in Tap, Jazz and Ballet

  • Leaps and Turns class for Ballet and Jazz dancers ages 7 and up

  • A third level to our pre-professional Ballet program

  • 33 weekly classes for you to choose from

  • Adult dance classes

  • Allegro Dance Ballet Ensemble’s first full length Ballet production in Spring 2020

  • A closed circuit camera system displayed on our TV in the lobby for easy viewing of classes for parents

  • New dance floor coming Summer 2019!

Thank YOU for your loyalty, enthusiasm, support and word of mouth referrals! Because of YOU, our dream of offering premier dance training in Oakland County is a reality! We cannot wait to see all of your children continue to develop into confident dancers! We are only just beginning and cannot wait to see what the future holds!
