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.
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.
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!!
My daughter has gained so much confidence and loves her dance classes. Dance night is the best night of the week! Jill and her staff are very supportive of all the dancers.
I have two daughters who have danced at MDA for 6 years! They also are on the competition team! We were immediately welcomed by everyone on staff and by our fellow dance families. Over the years, my daughters have gained many friends who I believe will be lifelong friends, they have learned discipline, respect and gained a tremendous amount of self confidence in addition to learning what it means to be a teammate and they have fun. We love our dance family, the studio director and highly recommend MDA to anyone looking for a dance studio. The costumes, music and dances are always age appropriate, the dancers are challenged but at the same time guided so that they are the best dancers they can be.
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.
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!!
