Dance with Me & Creative Movement 

Dance with Me is for the tiniest of dancers ages 2 & up. This class is structured like a Creative Movement class, but a parent or caregiver attends the class with the child. 
Creative Movement is for dancers ages 3 & up who are ready to do a class without mom or dad!  This 30 minute class is a great way to explore movement in the classroom setting.  Lots of props, lots of music, and lots of fun!!

Kinderdance

Kinderdance is for dancers ages 4 & up.  This 30 minute class is a great transition from Creative Movement to Combo.  The class combines ballet, jazz and tumbling and prepares dancers for learning sequenced steps.  Kinderdancers perform in the Annual Spring Recital. ​

Combo Classes

Combo classes are for dancers ages nearly 5 to 7.  This 45 minute class combines tap, ballet, and jazz in an exciting overview of dance with age-appropriate progression of skills.  Each age has their own specific Combo Level so that dancers are grouped with other dancers of their same age/grade.  Combo dancers perform in the Annual Spring Recital.

Open Level Classes 

Open Level Classes are perfect for an older beginner, or a recreational dancer. They are not categorized by level but by age. It may be a good fit for a dancer that does not want to take ballet, but still wants to take a jazz, hip-hop or tap. In general, dancers spend about 2-3 years in each of the Open Level age groups: Kids, Pre-Teen, Teen, Adult. 

Leveled Classes

Dancers in 2nd grade & up may enter into our leveled technique classes where they can study one or more specific styles of dance. Dancers begin in Level I. In general, a dancer spends 2 years in each level. If a student plans to progress through levels of training, ballet is strongly recommended and will become necessary at Level III*. 
*Any student in a Level III, IV, or V class must be enrolled in Ballet at least once a week.

Irish Dance

Ages 8+. Great exercise and lots of fun!

Adult Dance Classes

Landing Dance Collective is a group of young dancers, ages 9 to 18 years old, who are students of the Landing Dance Academy in Cadillac, Michigan. Students are trained in dance disciplines & learn choreography.
