Dance Class family

Linda Desmet, the founder of Dance Class began teaching dance in her mother's home in 1959. Later she taught out of her own basement in order to raise her children and be close to her family. Eventually, Linda grew too large to accommodate all of her students. In 1984 Dance Class opened its doors to the community of Sterling Heights.



Linda’s daughter, Laura Sak, joined her mom at Dance Class in the Fall of 1999. Laura is a graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in communications and dance. The partnership between Linda and Laura is what makes Dance Class unique. Laura brings enthusiasm into the studio and combines her new innovations with Linda’s experience and great Dance Class Traditions. Currently, Dance Class employs 10 faculty members. All the teachers at Dance Class enjoy sharing their love of dance with students of all ages. They each bring their own experience and talents to the studio. Dance Class teaches students discipline, dedication, technique and the art
