Adonai Arts Center upstairs at Brew Haus

Adonai Arts Center opened September 2009 on the top floor of the Bay View Brew Haus building, 2535 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., where dance instructor Emily Bennett rents space two days a week. It is the first business for Bennett, who is also an instructor at the Milwaukee Ballet School in Brookfield. She has been dancing since she was 9.

Bennett said the center offers ballet dance lessons for teens and adults of all levels. Creative movement classes are also held for children age 3-5. Bennett described creative movement as a building block to ballet, where children can learn basic movement. Hip-hop/modern dance classes, taught by Karen Zakrzewski, are also available. Zakrzewski is en route to earning her bachelor’s degree in fine arts.

In addition to the dance emphasis, Bennett said photography is being integrated into the center and a gallery night is planned for Monday, Dec. 21. Mixed media works will be on display, followed by dance performance. She also hopes to offer a mother-and-baby dance class.

Bennett previously taught at Encore Studio of Dance in South Milwaukee, and said the space at the Bay View Brew Haus building accommodates her South Milwaukee and Cudahy students.
