2025 Senior Participant

“I had such an incredible experience and can’t tell you how much I appreciated this opportunity and exposure to different programs around the Midwest. Thank you so much for an amazing weekend!”

2025 Senior Parent

“This was time and money very well spent. It was great to be able to learn more about the dance program opportunities available locally and some out of state as well. It is very hard to find information on dance programs in a very competitive world of dance teams and clinics so this was appreciated more than you know. I loved the flow of the sessions both days as did my daughter. It was not too much for the dancers to balance either so they could retain much of the information.”

2025 Senior Parent

“This event was such a valuable and rich experience for the dancers, and also for parents as well! Such a great experience and we are so thankful to have been able to participate. Thank you so much Detroit Metropolitan Dance for putting on this wonderful event! “
