Customer Review
“I just wanted to send a quick follow-up to thank you and the instructors so much for last week’s Young Dancer program. [My dancer] loved it so much; it was really the perfect program for her – fun, just the right length, really convenient times. She looked forward to it every day, and I’m so glad we signed her up! Thank you all so much for putting on such a great program!”

Theater Dance Workshop: Ages 8-12

Join us for a dynamic 3-day workshop designed for young performers enrolling in Grades 2–IF in 2025/26.
Each day, participants will learn dances from famous shows, act, and sing while developing performance skills and confidence. This camp focuses on storytelling, teamwork, and bringing scenes to life through expressive movement and theater techniques.

Dance Pass: Age 12+
August 26 - September 4
Focusing on ballet and pointe, dancers return to basics and tune up their technique in preparation for a successful dance year. Classes will start slowly with a steady increase to bigger jumps and increased pointe work as dancers regain stamina and fitness levels after summer break. This is the best way to prepare for a healthy and safe return to dance. Classes taught by MDA Faculty.
Classes will run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5.00-7.00pm August 26 – September 4.
