We offer many styles of dancing experiences

Our schools are of the highest quality in teaching and education.  We believe a qualified teacher understands that the training of a student will last for the rest of his or her life.  We teach how the muscles work to the fullest extent, and also teach stage presence using total control of body and mind.  The studio should be a place a student wants to be when young, training hard, but also having fun.

Joan Malone has been teaching for over 25 years. She was trained in Classical Ballet, Jazz and Tap. Her mentors were Lena Pelio and Robert Davis. Many of her students have gone on to be on broadway, became choreographers, and some have opened their own studios. Joan teaches with what she calls a tough love approach. The discipline of the dance must also apply to life, for not all students will be dancers.

Joan was a Ballet Theatre member and danced in such ballets as "Swan Lake", "Graduation Ball", and "Les Sylphyde." She created "Christmas at the Heritage," which was a production for the community, from dancers to singers to actors, for twelve years.

Joan also created "American Heritage Dance Conventions." Her staff was from California, New York, Chicago, and Michigan.  All of the staff were professionals and at the top of their fields. Joan would like to bring back those conventions.  It was a training and learning period for all students.  The conventions traveled to Tennessee, Chicago, Denver, Ohio, Pennsylvania. and Michigan.

"If there is interest to bring our conventions back, please let us know. We had a great following and I would love to hear from you!"

ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Saginaw Location

Beginning July 1, 2009, J. Malone Dance Studios Saginaw Branch will be located at 6400 State Street.

NEW - "Dance Plus Stars" Dance Company

Will meet at the Saginaw location (6400 State St.) every Tuesday. This is by audition only. It is for children who want to learn competition. We will do 2 competitions in the month of May. Auditions will be held on September 13, 2009 (time will be scheduled later).

2009 Christmas Show

J. Malone Dance studios will be organizing the Christmas Show next season, which will take place in late November or early December of 2009.

Since Joan has organized past performances spanning 12 years, she feels now is the time to bring it back.

Auditions will take place in August 2009, for singers, actors, dancers, and groups. Look for updates as the audition date approaches for more information on where the auditions will be held.

We are a non-profit organization and the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Shriners Organization, which helps children.

Joan invites all dance studios to participate, as well as any local business leaders who may also be interested. Coming together in collaboration will undoubtedly create a great community event.  We plan to have the show at the Temple Theater, which is where the Shriners began in this area.

New Ballet Company

J. Malone Dance Studios will also be accepting auditions for a new Ballet Company which will be sponsored by The Saginaw Valley Cultural Organization, our non-profit organization, and will be under the direction of Joan Malone.

Ages of the young company will be 8 to 12 years, adults 13 through 16 years.

We would like to find someone to write grants for the company.  The ballet would then be performed in the 2009 Christmas Show.  If we receive grant money from the arts, our intention is to bring in a notable lead dancer from a professional ballet company.

We're also auditioning an all-boy's hip hop group to perform, as we would like the show to be well rounded, representing all the talent in our surrounding area. 

It's our intention that this event be not just for J. Malone Dance Studios, but for everyone in the arts community in the Saginaw area.

- Joan Malone, Director, Saginaw Valley Cultural Organization.
