Full Season Class Registration

2026-2027 Full Season Class Registration is Open

We are super excited to enter this new season of dance. The 2026-2027 Dance Season will be 34 weeks in length.

Classes will run from September 16th, 2026 through the beginning of June 2027 with scheduled breaks for Holidays and Spring Break.

Classes will meet each week with an opportunity for a fantastic full studio performance opportunity “Student Dance Showcase 2027” at the conclusion of our season. 

New student registration will continue in classes that have available openings until 11/2/2026. A $30.00 one-time new student registration fee is applied to your new dance family accounts once you register and is due to reserve your spot for the 2026-2027 dance season. This payment is per family, not per dancer.

If you would like to pay the $30.00 pre-registration deposit by check (made to Spotlight), it can be mailed to Spotlight Dance Academy, 115 3rd street, Spring Lake MI 49456. Checks and cash can also be placed in our secure drop box located next to the front door. Please place the dancer's name on the envelope.

Mission Statement for Spotlight Dance Academy

We exist to educate and inspire the minds, bodies, and souls of our dance family.

We give our dancers healthy, life-service skills using a quality dance education in a love and caring environment. We seek to foster a mentally and physically healthy environment using our core values of:

Respect Honesty Growing Developing Accountability

Spotlight Dance Academy has been here for West Michigan area youth for over two decades. We were here yesterday, we are here today, and we will be here tomorrow for your children. So, whether you are taking your first class or preparing for your senior year, we say “Welcome Home!” At SDA, you are family.

Dance meets imperative student needs for community, socialization, friendship, mentoring, physical activity, and more! The benefits of dance include, but are not limited to: intellectual, academic, social-emotional, and physical support.

At SDA, the health and safety of our students, staff, guests, and communities have always been our highest priority. That ‘s why we have used local and national guidelines to inform our best practices for service in the coming season.
