Allegro Dance Welcomes You!

As we begin to slowly change our focus from Summer to Fall, registration for the 2021-2022 dance season is ramping up! Allegro Dance will be starting its sixth year in business this Fall and we are excited to watch our returning students continue to grow and develop as lovely dancers! We are also looking forward to meeting SO MANY new families join our studio! If you haven’t registered yet, we welcome you to take the leap and join our dance family! Below is a little bit about what we offer!

Whether your child is a beginner student, looking to add dance into their weekly schedule as a new hobby, or has dance experience and is looking to take their training to the next level, we offer a supportive and inclusive environment for all dancers.

We offer beginning classes in all age groups so your child can start dance at any age!

For those looking to make dance a bigger part of their lives, we offer a pre-professional division of Ballet classes. This is an invite only program where dancers are selected to join our classes with other experienced ballet dancers. These dancers learn classical variations and compete at YAGP. We also perform full length Ballets! Dancers in our pre-professional ballet program take classes in Ballet, Progressing Ballet Technique, Stretch/Conditioning and Pointe. For placement into our program, please email info@allegrodancemi.com!

If your dancer is looking for more performance and competition opportunities, we have three different levels of our performance company, ADPC. ADPC performs around the community, attends conventions and competes each season! If you are interested in setting up an audition to join ADPC, please email info@allegrodancemi.com.

The staff at Allegro Dance works with each dancer individually to help develop a plan to put them on a road to success-whatever their goals may be! We are here to help you in any way that we can!

New online store for Fall dress code!!

We are excited to announce the new online store where you can purchase all your dancer’s shoes and leotards needed for classes in the fall! The new store is- Shop Nimbly. If you danced with us last year or pre-covid, it works very similar to Curtain Call for Class. Please see below for directions on ordering what your dancer will need. We are in the process of getting new shoe sizing kits in for all of the classes. We will have these in August.

  • Our dress code for each class can be found HERE

  • Create an account at Shop Nimbly via the link above.

  • Add your dancer and Allegro Dance as the studio.

  • Shop “My Studio’s Lists” from the top menu. You will find your dancer’s class on that page.

  • Simply click on their class to see the shoes, tights, and leotards needed!

Please note that dance shoes run differently than street shoes. Please follow the guidance of the sizing charts for each shoe when determining what size your dancer needs. If you prefer to try them on before ordering, we can fit you at the studio once the kits arrive.

As always, we have a great selection of I Love Plum tutus in stock at the studio, tights, bows and fun Allegro Dance apparel!

COVID-19 PROCEDURES

As we continue to dance through the COVID-19 Pandemic, our number one priority is to continue to keep our dance families and staff safe. Since restarting in person classes on June 23, 2020, we have run in person classes safely. There has been no evidence of spread at our studios and we are very proud of this! We cannot thank our families enough for being cautious and communicating with us as needed! Please see our current procedures below and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns! We feel that during these challenging times, giving children a safe outlet to cope with emotions they may not be able to communicate is so important! Dance provides that, as well as a place to safely socialize with kids their own age!

  • Temperature checks at the door

  • Sanitizing upon entrance and exit

  • Masks must be worn by anyone in the building over the age of 4. (This could change depending on recommendations from the CDC and current executive orders)

  • Social distancing is enforced

  • Class sizes are limited

  • The lobby is closed to all parents of children over the age of 5

  • New HVAC system installed June 2020

  • Door knobs, light switches, cubbies and benches cleaned every hour

  • Ballet barres are cleaned after every use

  • Thorough cleaning of the studio is done daily

  • All families are asked to follow guidance from the local health department should they experience an exposure. Please notify us of any exposures so we can act appropriately.

  • Please do not come to class if your dancer has a fever or is experiencing any symptoms that could be related to COVID.

  • Please Zoom into class if your child was exposed to COVID or is running a temperature

  • Each family always has the option to utilize Zoom instead of attending in studio should your comfort level change

We look forward to working with your child safely!

Pop -Up Outdoor Classes!

This last Wednesday we got creative and held a pop-up outdoor ballet class in the little park by our dance studio. It was so much fun dancing in person together under the sun! Everyone had their own hula hoop to help remind the kids to stay 6 feet apart.

This Tuesday (6/30) from 5:15PM-5:45PM we are holding another pop up dance class! This time it is Jazz for 4-6 year olds! Class size is limited so reserve your dancer’s spot now by emailing Jenn at Jenn@allegrodancemi.com. The cost of this class is $5 per dancer.

We hope to dance with you on Tuesday! The weather looks great!

Pop-Up Ballet Class on Wednesday 6/24!

Welcome Progressing Ballet Technique to Allegro Dance!

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best. One of the important elements used in the PBT method is muscle memory which helps to improve students' understanding of core stability, weight placement and alignment. Each exercise in the PBT program has been developed with care and guidance by Marie Walton-Mahon alongwith a team of physiotherapists.


Miss Jenn is excited about bringing PBT to Allegro Dance this Fall! She received her certification in the PBT method on May 17, 2020. The students will love this method and the technical results and injury prevention it provides!

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!
