What have people said about our dance classes!"Great teachers and staff. I highly recommend MDR. My kids love going every week and I enjoy spending time with the wonderful parents. Everyone is easygoing and it is just an amazing place to be." - Melissa Lancucki
"My daughter is in her 6th year at MRD and we have been extremely happy with all aspects of the studio - from the teachers who foster an appreciation for all types of dance styles and music, to the recital which features age-appropriate dances, songs, and costumes, to the company team which has taken her abilities to the next level. We pass several other dance studios on our way to MRD, but we would not consider going anywhere else!" - Stacey Scherer |
