Our studio is a recreational, as well as a competitive studio. We have 6 Levels of Competition Company Dancer & a Tumbling Competition Company,
This year we are celebrating our 28th season in business. Students are placed in classes based upon age when 3-18 years old. After this students are placed based on a combination of age and ability. We offer older BEGINNER level classes for those who are getting a little later start, so that these students are not placed with the younger kids. At MPDC, we are not just a studio, we are a family!

Along with our countdown and our introductions of competitive groups.. we are going to start introducing our instructing team today!

It is time to get to know our staff!

I am so very blessed to have the absolute DREAM TEAM as my staff! Fun fact… they all trained in the studio… yep, even my mom, Miss Joyce, took line dancing class back in the day from me!

Up first, Miss Kennedy, who is an Alumni Class of 2022, was a competitive dancer, and a student assistant. I love having her back home and in the studio!

Miss Kennedy due to her school schedule and the fact that she graduates in December, will be an instructor assistant this season, a fill instructor, as well as a solo choreographer for a few of our competitive dancers!

The countdown continues….. so exciting!
