Our Philosophy

TCOYA Dance is part of Thelma Clarke Organization for Youth Advancement. Although TCOYA Dance operates as a studio, the program still adheres to the strict guidelines of the organization.

TCOYA Dance is not a recreational program. It is a dance program for youth that are interested in becoming good dancers. Our dancers attend competitions, and masters dance camps with Broadway and ballet stars, dance camp with the Detroit Pistons Automotion Dance Team and the Detroit Shockwave Dancers.

Our instructors have appeared in professional performances such as The Nutcracker (2007) and currently in the National City Future Stars of Broadway and Ballet. They have been trained by some of the best dancers in Michigan and surrounding states, and have won several awards for dance.

Our program involves teaching dancers the appropriate techniques and terminology of dance giving them pre and post tests for each discipline.

As a way to give back, TCOYA Dance goes to nursing homes and hospitals to perform for the elderly and those who are ill.
