From the reviews

If Google would let me rate MDC a 12 I would. The communication is top notch. It never fails if I think of a question to ask I go back to my emails and I already have the answer. Mrs. Jami-Marie is 3 steps ahead and prides herself on having a plan for situations A-Z. From the director to the kids truly amazing.

MDC is more than just great dancing… it’s FAMiLY! My daughter has been dancing with Jami-Marie and MDC since the doors opened and it’s the highlight of her week. We have formed some of the best friendships with the staff and other families.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Nov 2022

Today was my daughters first day at dance and she absolutely loved it! Krista welcomed us and got us all set with everything we needed. She was kind and so nice to my daughter. The best first impression I could have asked for. We appreciate it and will be back. Highly recommend

Your first ballet class at Magnolia Dance Company

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
