Its professional quality dance studio and renovated facility enables COMPÁS to offer lessons in various genres of dance, instrumental music and art with a focus on the diverse Latino heritage of Southwest Detroit.
The annual youth recital and year-end celebration will feature more than 80 performers and includes an awards ceremony with certificates of accomplishment for students and staff. Instrumental music performances will include guitar, and drums and percussions. Dance performances will include pre-dance, pre-ballet, ballet, flamenco, tap, hip-hop, breakdance, belly dance, and Mexican folk (ballet folklórico).
