Dance prepares you for all aspects of life! We value punctuality, hard work, dedication and commitment! These core values are applicable in both the studio and day-to-day life. We expect our dancers and parents to use proper dance etiquette at our studio. Please read our MDA handbook for a list of our parent and student expectations.
