Detroit-Windsor Dance Academy (DWDA) trains youth and adults in all disciplines of dance and dance ministry.

Our Focus

Skill

Our Dancer I.Q. program was designed specifically for dance excellence that teaches alignment, vocabulary, history, and anatomy.

Anatomy

Strength in body, mind, and spirit is essential at DWDA as we navigate the dance training. Dancers develop skill, strength, grace, flexibility, style.

Technique

Developing strength and flexibility in muscles combined with focus, breath, and feeling creates the grace known in our DWDA dancers.

For the past 30+ seasons, from Capetown, South Africa to Sydney, Australia, and from NYC to California, DWDA has a record of critical acclaim on 5 continents.

“DWDA played an instrumental role in who I am today! “
