The 8th Count Dance Studio — Local services in Keego Harbor

Two of my kiddos dance at 8th. One is a recreational dancer and the other is on their competition team. Both have had amazing experiences that match their levels and needs. The teachers are super friendly and approachable. They even have adult classes!

As my older daughter has grown with the studio so have her relationships. She has developed lasting friendships here. She also has the opportunity for leadership in the studio by being an assistant. She is taught the value of dedication and teamwork in addition to just acquiring new skills. The owners also encourage individualized growth as opposed to comparing oneself to others. I have seen both my girls become more confident with dance here.

There are varying levels of competing too. If you’re not ready for a full competition experience you can start off slow with just one or two numbers. It’s all what you want out of it. We are all very satisfied...

From the moment you step inside, the welcoming atmosphere and supportive community make it clear that this studio is more than just a place to learn dance—it's a place where lifelong skills and personal growth are cultivated. For many, it’s truly a home away from home. The studio’s commitment to fostering a deep passion for dance is evident in every class. The instructors not only teach technique but also instill a sense of discipline and dedication that extends beyond the dance floor. This passion is contagious, inspiring students to push their boundaries and strive for excellence. The skills and the lessons learned here go far beyond the choreography. The environment nurtures these qualities, helping dancers develop into strong, motivated individuals. We are so grateful for this dance studio, which has become both our family...

I love 8th count! My daughter is a competitive dancer and they keep her very active with more than just standard routines and rehearsals. Our first year (post lockdown) was a complete dance culture shock! My daughter was older and new to the studio so competitive dance took on a whole new meaning for us! They are truly growing her as a dancer and making sure the dancers are fully immersed in the dance world which really expands their horizons and opportunities to see just how far dance can go! If you’re looking for a place where your dancer can dive in, be themselves and flourish then congratulations on...
