The Dance Asylum School of Music & Dance has been offering music and dance lessons for all ages in the Saugatuck area since 1995.

21 years ago, our owner Justine took over for her mom who started this dance studio organically, simply trying to fill a need for professional dance to be made “fun” again.

It’s been an incredible adventure ever since.

Experience

All of our teachers at the Dance Asylum School of Music and Dance are highly qualified in their areas of expertise. While each teacher has their own special flair and style, they all follow our policy to encourage growth in the student's choice of learning and to have fun while doing it!

Floating Dance Floors

Our “Floating” Dance Floor rests on a system of high density foam to absorb the shock and impact of regular dance movement. This benefits students by reducing fatigue and preventing injury that can result from dancing on hard surfaces. The top layer of our flooring surface is a professional vinyl composition “marley” floor similar to the surfaces used by the Royal Academy of Dancing in London. This marley floor surface has a certain amount of controlled slip to allow for sliding in dance movement, but is not slippery like common tiles found in most other dance studios.
