How Class Placement Works

At Michigan Academy of Dance + Arts, student placement is based first on individual skill level, and then on age. Each student is carefully evaluated by our instructors to ensure they are placed in a class that is both challenging and appropriate for their current abilities.

While age ranges and experience levels are listed on our schedule for guidance, it’s important to note that these are averages. We believe every dancer progresses at their own pace, and we prioritize safe, technically sound training that allows each student to thrive.

  • Ballet Program

    We offer 11 levels of syllabus and non-syllabus ballet, in addition to pointe, pre-pointe, demi-pointe, and partnering. Our ballet program follows the Cecchetti Method, a highly respected and structured system designed to develop balance, poise, strength, elevation, and elasticity in dancers.

    Ballet

    Ballet is the disciplined, codified technique that serves as the foundation for all other dance forms. Students learn to align their bodies and develop strength, flexibility, and musicality through a progressive vocabulary of movement.

    Dancers at MADA can begin their ballet training as early as age two and progress through a comprehensive program rooted in the Cecchetti Method. Graded Cecchetti classes are leveled by skill, not school grade, ensuring that each student advances at a pace appropriate to their individual development. In addition to syllabus-based classes, we also offer non-syllabus ballet classes, which provide a more open structure while still emphasizing strong classical technique.

    Pre-Pointe

    This class prepares dancers physically and technically for future pointe work. Emphasis is placed on foot and ankle strength, turnout control, core stability, and alignment. Students use a combination of ballet technique and physical therapy-based exercises with tools.

    Requirements:

    • Must be enrolled in Grade I ballet or higher

    • Must have a minimum of two years of ballet experience

    • Class is taken in soft ballet slippers, bare feet, or socks

    • Minimum of one full year in Pre-Pointe is required before progressing to pointe

    Below is a list of the items needed for pre-pointe as well as an Amazon link to purchase. Dancers will need to bring these items to every class. 

    Demi-Pointe

    Demi-pointe training uses specially designed shoes to bridge the gap between flat ballet work and full pointe. This class allows dancers to develop the strength and control needed for pointe work without the full demands of dancing on the box. It is often used as a preparatory step for younger or developing dancers transitioning to pointe.

    Requirements:

    • Instructor Permission

    • Must be enrolled in Grade II ballet or higher

    • Must have a minimum of three years of ballet experience

    Pointe

    Pointe is the advanced study of ballet technique on the tips of the toes using specialized blocked satin shoes. It requires a high level of technical proficiency, body awareness, and physical readiness.

    Requirements:

    • Instructor Approval

    • One full year of demi-pointe class

    • Must be at least 11 years old

    • Minimum two to three years of ballet training

    • Active enrollment in ballet classes

    • Medical clearance from a physician confirming bone maturity (via x-ray)

    Partnering

    Partnering (also known as pas de deux) teaches dancers to work collaboratively in classical and contemporary forms. Dancers learn essential skills such as weight-sharing, support, timing, and trust in movement.

    Requirements:

    • Must be on pointe

    • Instructor Permission

  • Lyrical and Contemporary dance are expressive styles that fuse the strength of ballet with the fluidity and emotion of modern movement. These styles allow dancers to explore storytelling through technique, musicality, and emotion.

    Lyrical

    MADA offers six levels of lyrical, available to dancers of all ages at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
    Lyrical dance is rooted in the interpretation of music lyrics and blends the sustained, controlled movement of ballet with the dynamics, freedom, and power of jazz and modern dance. Movement in lyrical is driven by the mood and message of the music and often tells a story with strong emotional intent. This style is shaped by the instructor’s choreography and the feeling of the song rather than rhythmic patterns.

    Contemporary

    Contemporary dance is a more abstract and less structured style of movement that still draws heavily from ballet and jazz foundations. It incorporates elements such as body contractions, flexed feet, off-center balances, asymmetrical shapes, and floor work.

    Ballet Requirement

    Because both lyrical and contemporary are built upon strong technical foundations, enrollment in a ballet class is required for all dancers participating in lyrical or contemporary.

  • Jazz

    Jazz is a high-energy dance style rooted in ballet and modern dance technique. Each class begins with a full-body warm-up designed to develop strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. Dancers work on isolations, turns, jumps, and stylized movement while improving body alignment, balance, and musicality. Through across-the-floor exercises and center combinations, students enhance their technical foundation and performance quality. Jazz is offered at multiple levels to suit dancers of all ages and experience levels.

    Hip Hop

    We currently offer five levels of Hip Hop. This fast-paced class emphasizes musicality, precision, and personal style. Dancers explore both smooth and sharp movements, intricate footwork, controlled isolations, and dynamic poses. The movement ranges from high-to low-impact and encourages freedom of expression while improving flexibility and endurance. Choreography is set to age-appropriate, contemporary music that keeps dancers engaged and motivated.

  • MADA offers seven levels of tap technique, designed to build coordination, rhythm, and musicality through progressive training.

    Tap students learn a wide variety of steps and combinations that develop clarity of sound, timing, and expressive movement. Emphasis is placed on rhythmic patterns, syncopation, and performance quality. Classes include warm-ups, across-the-floor progressions, and center choreography.

    Our studio primarily follows the Al Gilbert Tap Technique syllabus, while also incorporating additional styles and teaching methods to provide well-rounded tap training.

  • Dance Acro is a fusion of classical dance technique and the strength, control, and athleticism of acrobatic skills. This class focuses on safely developing acro fundamentals that can be seamlessly integrated into dance choreography.

    At MADA, Dance Acro is taught by a certified Acrobatic Arts instructor and follows the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus, which emphasizes proper progression, alignment, and technique. Students learn how to execute acrobatic elements with control and fluidity, enhancing their overall versatility as performers.

    Dance Acro builds strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination—while ensuring that acrobatic skills are executed with the grace and style of a trained dancer.

  • Progressions is a technique-focused class that emphasizes traveling combinations, including leaps, jumps, and turns. Dancers work across the floor using dynamic movement phrases that incorporate changes in direction, weight, level, and spatial awareness.

    This class is designed to enhance technical proficiency, coordination, and control—helping dancers build confidence in their ability to move through space with precision and artistry.

    Please note: Progressions is a technique-only class and does not participate in the year-end recital.

Each dancer is thoughtfully placed in a program that supports both their technical development and personal growth. Our mission is to provide safe, challenging, and well-rounded training that nurtures a lifelong appreciation for dance.
