Faculty & Staff

Our instructors and staff members are all approachable, friendly, and experienced.
Here at VIVA, we feel that continious education is very important in keep up in the dance industry. Every instructor at VIVA is either a college graduate, currently pursuing their college degree, or come to us with 20+ years experience in the dance industry. Many of our instructors also attend both regional and national conventions and master classes to keep up with new and innovative dance techniques and styles.

Smaller Class Sizes

All of our recreational classes are limited to 8-12 students per class.
By limiting the class sizes, we offer more individualized attention; creating an ideal learning environment. Students learn in a structured environment while having fun and embracing a love for the art of dance. VIVA also uses teaching assistants in almost every class for more one-on-one teaching time as well as to prepare those interested in becoming future instructors.

 

Affordable Prices

Viva offers quality dance instruction at very reasonable prices.
We take pride in giving parents and students the most value for their money. Multiple class, family, and team discounts are all available to those who qualify.

 

Community Service

Viva is commited to serving more than just our current customers in the area.
We believe that these acts of community service will teach our dancers life lessons in giving and donating their time to those in need, a lesson we hope will carry for the rest of thier life! Viva currently provides free and reduced rate dance opportunities for the less fortunate through our Adopt-A-Dancer program. Over the last four years we have sponsored 8 children. The studio has also participated in the Dance Thru Time event to raise funds for the rebuilding of the River Raisin Battleground. In 2009, 2010, & 2011, each December, Viva adopts a family through the Salvation Army to make sure that even with the economic struggle, they we are able to help others enjoy a wonderful Christmas. By pooling our resources, we were able to not only provide our adopted family with gifts, clothing, food, and other neccessity items... but also donated a large amount of toys and cash back to the Salvation Army for other families to enjoy! It is really a great experience for everyone involved!

Viva also provides more than $6,000 in student scholarships each year!
Scholarships are awarded at our annual Spring Recital to select students based on staff nomination. Students are chosen for a wide variety of reasons, which include improvement, passion, work ethic, enthusiasm, etc... Half of the funds awarded are raised by Ms. Shawn & Miss Nicci thru Fundraisers/Booster Club. The other half is provided by the studio. This year, VIVA will be sponsoring a special needs dance class to more than 20 children in Monroe County. We are very excited to start this new program this season
