Ann Parsley School of Dance was founded in 1976 by Ann Parsley. It is a school dedicated to providing quality dance instruction. High technical standards are maintained and a joy of movement and sense of artistry are instilled through encouragement and positive reinforcement. Examinations are available in the Cecchetti Method of ballet. Performance is considered essential and recitals are held annually at Macomb Center for the Performing Arts.

Students may also audition or dance as extras for the The Macomb Ballet Company, a non-profit corporation that is housed in the school. Many students from the school go on to dance professionally or continue their studies at the University level. Beginning students are placed in class by age whenever possible. Advanced beginning, intermediate, and advanced students are placed by ability and advancement with consideration given to age.
