Dance For Fun was originally founded in 1979 by Cindy Bizek, teaching dance and cheerleading in Parks and Recreation and Community Education programs in Detroit, Redford, Livonia, Southfield, and Farmington Hills while attending high school at Bishop Borgess. A Michigan All-State cheerleader, Cindy coached many middle school cheerleading squads as well as Varsity cheerleading at Ladywood High School. Cindy danced professionally in the Detroit Disco Dance Company, but took a more serious approach to her studies at the business school at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  During 1981-1983, Cindy was a cheerleader for the Wolverines. It was at U of M that Cindy met her "Prince Charming" and married Bill Bass in 1984.  Shortly thereafter they moved to Connecticut and from 1984 until 1991 Cynthia Bass worked at Chemical Bank in New York. Enjoying Broadway shows and taking master dance classes was a great escape for the wall street stockbroker. Cynthia also studied dance in Boston, MA  learning the unique style of Isadora Duncan which was the basis for her thesis at The University of  Connecticut. She continued teaching dance and pilates at Bethel Parks and Recreation from 1989-1997.  Cynthia also worked part time at Laura Ashley as an interior decorator. When Bill's job brought the Bass family to Michigan, in 1997, Cynthia started an interior decorating business "Romantic Interiors."  Missing dance, Cynthia started working with Lake Orion Community Education introducing "Diaper Dancing" with her toddler daughter, Abigail. Miss Cindy then went on to introduce her Dance For Fun concept in affiliation with Clarkston Community Education and Waterford Parks and Recreation.  As the sessions passed  Miss Cindy's classes became more and more popular, and she taught more and more classes. Although happy at the thought of introducing children and beginning adults to dance through the community programs, Miss Cindy realized her students were frustrated when they tried to continue their dance training at other studios. The world of dance had become intense, competitive and very expensive. Looking for a dance studio that shared her love of dance and similar philosophies to send her own dancing children, Miss Cindy found ....nothing.   In 2002 the Bass family opened Dance For Fun at 4800 Joslyn Road.  The commitment to quality with an emphasis on fun is evident in everything we do. It is no surprise that enrollment at Dance For Fun has steadily increased, and we now have 2 dance studios as well as continue to teach through many local community programs. The world of competitive dance requires time, financial, and physical commitments and sacrifices on a dancer and their entire family.  "5 years ago everyone wanted their daughter to be another Brittany Spears. Now we all know  better,"  says Miss Cindy.  Shouldn't family come first, school second, then hobbies.  We think so!  And so do the families and the many school teachers that bring their children to Miss Cindy and her qualified staff that embrace her beliefs. Our name says it all: DANCE FOR FUN!
