 Welcome to a new season at MADA! We are so glad you're here and are excited for classes to start today. Here is some season information:

​

What to expect on your first day... 

Students can wear dance attire, or comfortable clothing if you do not have dance attire yet. We sell ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical shoes in our studio, along with tights and leotards but you can purchase them from wherever you would like. Your student can go barefoot or wear socks on the first day if they do not have their dance shoes yet, we will be sizing students for shoes the first or second week of class. The first day we will go over class attire, get to know you games, class expectations, and introduce the teachers. We strive to implement technique and age appropriate choreography for students to advance in their dance skills, while also having fun in a positive environment.​
