Meet our favorite foodie, golfer and baton instructor! This is her first year teaching at Dance Class, but her twirling accomplishments are nothing new. Meg has held titles such as Miss Majorette of Michigan, Strut-Off champion and top 5 in the collegiate level at Nationals. Along with countless titles while twirling at Purdue University, Meg has also performed in the Macy's Day Parade and even at the great wall of China!
Miss Talene- Office Manager
Talene has been dancing with Dance Class since she was 5 years old. She went off to college in 2018 and came back 4 years later to pick up where she left off. When Talene isn't working or dancing, she enjoys camping, baking, and exploring new places!
Chrissy originally started at the studio in 1990, and continued dancing with us through college. After a brief hiatus focusing on her career and having her sweet daughter, she's back! She now helps to increase our presence in the community and runs our social media, works our front desk, and teaches Buddy and ME. She does it all!
Nicole first joined Dance Class as a student back in 1986, and now we are lucky enough to have her as a jazz and hip-hop instructor! Nicole went to University of Michigan where she was on the Michigan Dance Team and even once danced in a presidential inaugural parade! Nicole is an Immigration Attorney by day and a Mom to three wonderful children.

If you haven't already, MEET LAURA! She has been at Dance Class from the very beginning, as she is the daughter of our founder, Linda. When not at Dance Class, she loves being with her husband, two children and golden retrievers. Laura lights up the room with her warm personality and she's an absolute delight to have as the Director of Dance Class!
Many will recognize Marissa as she lights up the stage with all styles of dance. She especially loves expressing herself through modern and bringing energy to hip hop. Marissa is an exceptional instructor who makes every student feel heard and valued. We're thankful for all of the time Marissa spends with us at Dance Class, as she is also an Orthopedic Spine Surgical PA and mother to two beautiful girls.
We are overwhelmingly grateful to have had the honor of having Michele in our lives for the last 37 YEARS! Anyone who has taken Michele's class has been able to enjoy her calm, kind and consistent approach. We look forward to many more years being impressed by your exceptional work ethic and beautiful choreography.

Our sparkle and pink loving Sydney has been with Dance Class for 16 years. While she's impressive with anything she puts her mind to, her favorite style of dance is TAP!

We're so proud to have her working our front desk when she isn't busy as a student at Oakland University majoring in Actuarial Science.
