Our Commitment to Inclusivity

At MDA, we hold a firm belief that everyone, including students with special needs, should have the opportunity to pursue their passion for dance. We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages growth, creativity, and friendship. Please note that students who require additional assistance during classes or events will need to supply their own assistant.

In our program, dancers will have the opportunity to learn and grow through various classes that cater to different skill levels and individual needs. Your dancer will also have the chance to shine during our Spring Recital, showcasing their talent and hard work on stage. Additionally, All Stars offers chances to participate in community events, enabling dancers to perform and connect with others who share their love for dance. These events are excellent for building confidence and fostering a sense of community.
