HistoryDetroit Windsor Dance Academy was established in 1984 by Bruce Hunt and his wife Deborah White-Hunt. In 1984 the school was very small and only offered a few basic classes, but since then it grown to about 500 young students and many adult students. They offer dance classes for every style of dance, and for all ages on most days. The academy started a few small rented rooms at 1515 Broadway, near the Opera House in downtown Detroit. As numbers grew they moved into a much larger space in the New Center Building in downtown Detroit. ClassesClasses are usually split up by age and skill level.
