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!

Bring A Friend Week!!

Bring a friend to dance week starts October 7th-October 12. Dancers are able to bring a friend to class during this week. Their friend will need to be in the age group of the class they will be attending. Each child is allowed to bring only 1 friend. We do fun things in class to celebrate friendship! Since many of our classes are already at max capacity, if at all possible, please bring the buddy with you so we don't have double the parents sitting in the already crowded lobby. :)
