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!
