Headed by Karen Mills Jennings, the Dance Division offers more than 25 classes each week, as well as a regular performance schedule. Former students of the division have received scholarships at such prominent schools as the San Francisco Ballet School, North Carolina School of the Arts, Joffrey School in New York City, the Virginia School of the Arts, as well as numerous summer ballet programs throughout the United States and Canada. Some have also gone on to dance professionally with Ballet Michigan, Tulsa Ballet Theatre, Dayton Ballet, Cleveland Ballet, Indianapolis Ballet Theatre, Oakland Ballet, Fort Worth Ballet and the Repertory Project.

The Nutcracker production is the most widely known performance venue for the Dance Division. Nearly 100 students have the opportunity to perform with professional dancers before a total audience of 5,000 at The Whiting.

Festival of Dance is the culmination of a year's work by the FSPA dance students. All four dance ensembles, Children's Performance Workshop, Youth Dance Ensemble, the Adult Ballet Ensemble and Flint Youth Ballet present a concert of classical ballet and contemporary dance at the University of Michigan-Flint Theatre.
