Powered by GoogleI took the Adult Sampler class taught by Jessica and it was a lot of fun. Jessica leads the class in a warm way that gets everyone engaged and the various styles help keep it fresh. One aspect I really enjoyed was the teaching style, I really appreciated that despite trying new styles it was taught in a way to where the whole class was able to follow along quickly. I also really enjoyed the other attendees of the class. They were all very friendly and made the environment very welcoming! If you’re looking for a fun way to get into or more out of dancing, this is definitely the place! I am excited to sign up for this course whenever I see it available.
Amazing professional performances for kids!
Wonderful staff. Focused on building character along side the dancing. The focus is on the right thing, the kids and developmentally appropriate instruction.
My daughter went to Happendance about 5 years ago for around a month. The teachers were fine, my daughter didn't enjoy it so I removed her. In the time since then I have been doing battle to get removed from their text list. I spoke to someone who assured me I would be removed yet today I was texted about photos tomorrow.
Happendance is a place where my 25 year old body could feel 16 again and just dance. The people are great, the atmosphere is amazing, and the learning experience is abundant. Yes, at first it was intimidating to get in and dance with people who dance every day, after being constantly in and out of dance, but the encouragement is next level. I truly hope to be back with them while I am in Lansing.
