Amherst's Leading Dance Education Program instilling poise, grace, self-confidence, discipline, artistry and fun!
"It is our mission to assist each dancer in pursuing their personal dance goals while focusing on artistry, expression and excellence. Of course, dance is an art form that requires rigorous study, but in doing so, dancers learn valuable life lessons. We work to provide each dancer with an education that instills poise, grace, self confidence and more importantly memories and friendships to last a lifetime." Michelle Spezio Ferm, B.A. Certified by "Test to Teach", Member Dance Master's of America, 22 Years Dance Educator.
Spezio's Dance Dynamics was recently featured in Dance Studio Life Magazine May 2009

Dance Dynamics has professional faculty of more than 14 instructors with significant experience in dance education. Every member of our staff is educated to teach by holding a B.A., B.F.A, Certified by Dance Master's of America "Test to Teach" a four year extensive educational program, or pursuing their degree. We are proud to also have Mr. Jon Lehrer, formerly Associate Director of Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago for 11 years, and now Director of the LehrerDance Co teaching at the school.
Dance Dynamics is focused on not only teaching younger students in a proper progression of skill development but also has an Ensemble' Performance Troupe. We work diligently, with all students, to enhance a child's academic pursuits by engaging their mind and body, master execution, proper alignment, artistry, expression, strength, ability to adapt and overcome, and the "drive and discipline" that is gained form the study of dance.
The goal of the school is to educate classically trained dancers who are well rounded and adaptable to many challenges. We have many students who pursue dance at the college level, but also have students who have gained valuable experience from the study of dance that are working in their personal area of study. All our graduates have attended 4 year Universities, many with honors, many pursue dual degrees and 40% go on to graduate school.

Welcome to a new season of dance! We are thrilled to be back inthe studio working to assit our dancers in meeting their goals. It takes years to train a dancer and takes a lot of hard work on the part of the dancer, but we are just so pleased to have the opportunity to share our passion for dance with all our students. It is a slow methodical process that can take each dancer on a different path of discovery and with diligence and focus much can be gained!

We have had a busy and exciting summer with the Ensemble Dancers trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando! It was a great trip where the dancers showcased their talents in two performances in Downtown Disney. The dancers had a great time performing and enjoying all that Disney has to offer, while their families also cheered them on. They drew a large audience and received many acolades for their professionalism from the Walt Disney World Talent Coordinator. We are very proud of them!

Mairssa, Kailee and Miss Michelle also traveld to NYC for the New York City Dance ALliance Nationals after the girls were awarded scholarships to attend NYCDA as National Outstanding Dancers. The days were filled with dance as they took class or rehearsed for the gala about 9 hours a day. It was truly an experience of a lifetime for a young dancer. They took classes with professional performers and choreographers like Travis Wahl, form SYTYCD, Joey Dowling, Dana Wilson, Kim Craven; San Francisco Ballet, Joe Lanteir; Julliard, Danny Wallace; Tap Dogs, And Pellick, Suzie Taylor, and A.C. Ciulla...it was truly an amazing experience. Miss Michelle also enjoyed taking many advanced classes for teachers and studio owners. Kailee met and talked to her inspiration Ida Saki, 2009 NYCDA National Outstanding Dancer. Miss Michelle met Tony Dovalani from "Dancing with the Stars". They had a great time!
