About The Foundation House

The Foundation House, a premier dance studio located in Livonia, Michigan, was established in 2014 by owners Bianca Bousamra Janas and Jason Janas. United by a shared passion for dance, they have cultivated a welcoming environment for students of all ages to explore the art of movement and build a strong dance community. The studio offers a diverse range of classes designed to inspire and nurture aspiring dancers, from foundational techniques to expressive performances. Students can explore disciplines including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Acrobatics. Combo classes are available for younger dancers aged 2-18, while older students can delve into competitive company programs for Ballet, Tap, and other styles. Ballroom classes are also offered, catering to those interested in partner work and cultural rhythms. The Foundation House benefits from instruction by experienced professionals, including Bianca Bousamra Janas and Jason Janas, a skilled tap instructor. Notably, Jessica Thomas, who holds an M.F.A. from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and a B.F.A. from Wright State University, contributes her extensive expertise in ballet and pointe instruction. Thomas's impressive performance career includes a role in American Ballet Theatre's "Sleeping Beauty" and extensive work with renowned companies such as Dayton Ballet and Cincinnati Ballet, with her choreography recognized by Pointe Magazine for its innovative themes. At The Foundation House, students develop their technique, explore their artistry, and foster a lifelong love for dance in a nurturing environment.
