Jit Masters

”We got a dance that belongs to us in Detroit and a lot of people don’t know about it…” 
— Michael Smith

Jit Masters was founded by proud native Detroiter, Michael Smith, also known as Jit Master Mike, who has always been destined for the dance floor. From imitating Michael Jackson as a toddler to studying dance at the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts and business at Wayne State University, dance has been a central part of his life.

Growing up on Detroit’s eastside, Michael found that the Jit dance not only kept him and his friends out of trouble but also shaped his future. After a brief hiatus from dance, he felt a calling to return and share his gift with the world, leading to the creation of Jit Masters.

Jit Masters is all about bringing the unique Detroit Jit dance to a global audience, offering workshops, private lessons, and performances that showcase this vibrant piece of Detroit culture.

In addition to leading Jit Masters, Michael teaches at Motor City Dance Factory and lives in Detroit with his wife, Orma, and their daughters, Hailey and Jasmine. Connect with him and “Get Your Jit On!”
