MEET OUR TEACHERS
Bridget Accetta
Owner/Instructor/Choreographer
I have danced since I was 5 years old. I grew up with the love of dance. I have owned and operated or worked in studios for twenty years. I have taken many seminars from several professional dancers such as: Al Gilbert, Darryl Retter, Joe Tremaine. My goal is to pass on to my students the love I have for dance! I don’t look at dance as my job, I look at it as an opportunity to help others grow through music, dance, and acting!

Tracy Aaron
Instructor/Choreographer
I have been dancing since I was 4 years old-I pretty much grew up in a studio! I have taken many different seminars, and I recently became certified in acrobatic arts! I have even traveled the country performing with a drum and dance troupe! I always knew that dance was my passion and that it would always be a major part of my life. I look forward to going to work every day, and strive to provide a fun learning environment. I am blessed to love what I do and to be a small part in the spreading of the joy of dance!

Ms. Angela Prieur has been teaching at MBSD for the last 6 years. She has a huge passion for dance. She began dancing at age three and found a love for teaching as a young teenager. She especially loved ballet and eventually became certified to teach the Cecchetti method. While she loves all styles of dance, she especially enjoys teaching ballet, jazz, contemporary and lyrical.

She has been coaching high school dance teams for many years and is currently the head coach at Grand Blanc High School. Angela loves to share her passion of dance with her students and believes in pushing their technical ability. But she also stresses that dance should be fun. She encourages them to express themselves through dance and loves to inspire children to be their best, not only in dance, but in life. Ms. Angela feels very blessed to be part of the MBSD family.
Felicia Liggett
Instructor/Choreographer
My passion for dance ignited while performing at The Whiting Auditorium, and it has been an integral part of my life ever since. Starting at 2.5 years old, I quickly fell in love with dance. I then ventured into the competitive dance world, where I lived for Competition season and Nationals. My journey as a dancer naturally led me to discover my love for teaching. Throughout my teaching career, I have witnessed incredible growth in my students, from their first cartwheel to mastering layouts and fulls, winning choreography and performance awards. Over the years, I’ve had training in Acro (my favorite), Jazz, Allstar Pom and Cheer, Tap, Ballet, Cecchetti, Lyrical, Contemporary, and Competitive Gymnastics. I’ve had the privilege of working with several local studios and school teams.
In addition to the incredible experiences and achievements, dance has brought me lifelong friendships. One of my most special friendships is with my duet partner, which started in first grade and has grown through the years. One of the best parts of the dance is who you dance with.
Balancing a full-time job, teaching dance three days a week, pursuing a dual MBA/MSA degree, managing my photography business, and enjoying downtime with my husband and two dogs, my life is a constant juggling act. However, the dynamic and supportive atmosphere at MBSD makes it all worth it. The talented teachers and passionate students are second-to-none, and I am grateful to be a part of MBSD for the second year and look forward to the many years to come.
