Welcome to Downriver Dance Academy where dance is our passion.  The academy is the dance education program of the 2nd Street Performing Arts Center.  Our classes are designed to appeal to the recreational dancer or individuals looking to further their dancing career and aspirations.  Downriver Dance Academy has provided the background and discipline that has taken many students to professional careers.
