The Maggie Allesee Department of Dance

The Maggie Allesee Department of Dance is one of the oldest and most respected dance departments in the US. Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD), our BFA and BS programs have a dual focus: contemporary modern dance and neo-classical ballet, as well as an integrated dance technology curriculum. State of the art studios and facilities are located in the center of the city’s Cultural District in midtown Detroit. Fifteen diverse dance faculty are nationally known for their work in technique, choreography, Pilates, and dance technology.

Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on quality pre-professional training and dance education. Our nationally accredited program currently maintains an enrollment of 60 dance majors, a third of whom are consistently named to the Dean’s List and continue to distinguish themselves as Presidential Scholars, Wayne Scholars, and McNair Scholar Program recipients. The department enjoys important long-term partnerships with the Detroit Opera House and the American Ballet Theatre.
