Great Lakes Arts and Dance opens in Sault Ste. Marie

There is a new business in Sault Ste. Marie and it is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to learn the art of dance. 

Great Lakes Arts & Dance, located at 539 Ashmun Street, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony May 12 and with it signaled the new business endeavor by long-time Sault Ste. Marie resident Dianna George. 

George is no stranger to dance, having studied in Detroit and performed with the Ypsilanti Area Dancers. She was accepted into the Indianapolis Ballet, a professional ballet company, while still a junior in high school. 

George is joined in the business by Kaley Darga, who has been in dance for the past 25 years. She has a dance minor from Lake Superior State University and has eight years of experience teaching dance classes. 

The mission of Great Lakes Arts & Dance is to provide quality dance education with a focus on core curriculum as well as on improving each dancer’s self-awareness and self-confidence in a safe, nurturing environment. 

Great Lakes Arts & Dance currently offers a wide variety of dance lessons ranging from ages two to adults.  Classes include music, dance and tumbling for ages two to four; pre-ballet for ages four to six; all levels for classical ballet; jazz one through pre-professional.  Classes are also available for modern, lyrical, hip-hop, tap, jazz, contemporary, and pointe.
