We have loved everything about our experience with MMC! Our 4 year old daughter started dancing here this fall, and now she says her favorite thing is to dance! It's a sweet, encouraging, and fun atmosphere!
My daughter absolutely loves it here! She is a shy girl but she really seems to open up with her great teachers! I love how patient and understanding they are with her! She really enjoys her dance days they make it fun and exciting even I enjoy dance days
Our son loves going to his dance class! He is learning about dance along with life skills (listening, patience, kindness, etc.). My mom used to run a dance studio in a small town when I was young, and I'm so thankful my son gets to have a similar, community-based experience.
We love MMCA. My daughter has taken dance classes there for this whole season. She has gained self confidence along with learning and perfecting certain techniques. Angie and Lacie have been such wonderful and loving teachers. We just finished our first summer camp and my daughter was so excited to tell me what all they did and was eager to go back the next day! On the last day parents got to come early and see what they had learned. If you are looking for a loving and supportive dance family, look no further!
Love Mountain Movers, they are so loving and caring of all their dancers. This is my daughter's first time doing any type of dance classes and she has completely falling in love with dance. They are very spiritual and love the lord and that is incorporated in everything they do. This is a great dance school to start your kids off in dancing they will truly learn a lot.
I have worked wirh dancers and dance studios for many years as a professional performing arts teacher/director and as a performer. When our family decided to put our granddaughter into a dance program at the age of 2, we wanted a studio that provided a nurturing and caring environment and not a competitive atmosphere. I knew the importance of having professionals who wanted to foster a love for dance and Miss Angie, Miss Lacie and the entire team do exactly that. Our granddaughter has grown so much in her coordination, balance, rhythm and listening skills. She has made friends and her confidence has blossomed. She began with ballet and now does ballet and tap. I believe she will have a lifetime love for dance and performing. I heartily recommend this studio and their staff. They communicate very well and one can tell they are vested in their students. A+
Ms Angie is the most amazing teacher! She along with Ms. Lacie have taught my daughter since she was 3. Ms. Angie has taught my daughter excellent technique in all genres of dance . She helped shape my daughter into the successful, confident young lady that she is today. I can not recommend her enough!
Ms. Angie and Ms. Lacie have been teaching my daughter about dance, life and everything in between since she was four years old. They are the most caring, passionate, and fun dance teachers a parent could wish for their child!
Their ability to get kids moving and keep kids moving builds strength, confidence and a love for dance. I am so blessed that they are a part of my daughter’s life, and so grateful for all the life lessons they’ve taught her over the years. She is a confident, strong eleven year old who knows her body can do amazing things, if she puts her heart into it! Highly recommend!!
