Dance @ Detroit Opera

World-renowned dance artists step from our stage into the studio to lead masterclasses for local dancers — a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, sharpen your technique, and learn directly from professionals at the highest level. Classes are held in the Margo V. Cohen Center for Dance in the Ford Center for Learning at the Detroit Opera House. Masterclasses are open to dancers who meet specified requirements and are free with a ticket purchase to that weekend’s performance, or $15 without a ticket purchase.

Pre-registration is required for all masterclasses
