I came to Marietta Dance Academy when I moved to Ohio. Jill opened her doors to me and allowed me to join the MDA family. The staff and other dancers welcomed me with open arms and I have made lifelong connections. Jill has been a huge influence on me throughout my dance years, and even through college and helped me through so much. MDA is a family and will help each other no matter what, great place to join!!
We moved to Marietta from Baltimore, MD in 2024 and knew absolutely no one in this quaint little town. We had two little girls that loved to dance around the house and we figured it would be a great way to meet some new friends! We enrolled them at MDA and have so loved seeing their journey in dance!
Fast forward six years and they are absolutely flourishing because of the confidence, friendships and wonderful role models they have at MDA. We couldn’t have made a better decision for them and we look forward to many more years with this wonderful studio!
Top notch in every way!! The dance instruction, attention to detail, choreography, costumes.... girls treated with respect yet high expectations for hard work. It pays off with great friendships and national awards!!
Great program! Good variety with ballet, tap and tumbling. Very organized. The instructor has good rapport with the students and yet is firm. They're very flexible with leotards as well. They've installed commercial air cleaners too! Big commitment to sanitization.
MDA is a fantastic place for kids to learn & grow not only as dancers but as kids into adulthood. Jill gives attention & care to all of her students! Give them a call because you won't be let down.
Taking classes here has opened up a whole new side of my daughter. I am constantly catching her doing steps she's learned or trying to do steps she saw from the older girls, in her own little mini recital. Taking classes here has made her want to be a better dancer. And Miss Jill is the right one for the job. She takes the time to really care for all her students.
I love the dedication that MDA has to each dancer and I feel as though my girls are being taught that hard work pays off! it is a great balance of learning, stucture and feeling loved and supported at the same time.
Can’t recommend any more highly. My daughter took class here & competed for 16 years. She learned more than dance, how to lead & be responsible. Miss Jill was her mentor in all aspects of her life. If you want to raise a lovely lady this is the studio for you.
So my daughter has been dancing with MDA for almost a year now, and I have to say I am so thankful for this studio, they teach girls dance and how to be confident young women. My daughter needed help with a few steps, for her recital, and I with six left feet seemed to be making things worse when she practiced at home. After a much longer than normal practice a few days before the recital Ms. Jill was willing to take a few extra minutes to show my daughter her steps and what she was not catching (or I). Today she practiced her dance and nailed it. This a studio that wants every child to succeed. Thank you!!
Always friendly and always fun. They do a great job with the little ones. Our daughter is 6 and she looks forward to it all week.
MDA is hands down the best dance studio around. Jill and her staff are always welcoming, kind hearted and professional. They have a variety of dance classes for everyone. If you've been with studio for years or it's your first day, they make you feel like family. They will help you reach your full potential and goals, all while having fun.
