From the reviews
My 3 kids have been dancing at MDC for years now and we just continue to grow fonder of the MDC environment. The classes are challenging but fun, the teachers are supportive and all three have enjoyed their experiences. From the classes for the littles to the elite competition team, we have tried it all at MDC...
My 12 year old daughter did a Summer Intensive Camp here and really enjoyed it. She was able to get exposure in various dance types that she normally wouldn’t have tried. The facility was clean, spacious and well managed. We traveled from Buxton. (35 min)
My daughter has been going to ballet class at Maine dance center for over a year. She LOVES it and we have seen a ton of improvement in her dance skills. She loves her teachers and they have been amazing communicating with us about schedules, events and center procedures/protocols.
We enjoy this studio so much. We live right in raymond but even if we were really far away, this studio has everything we need: professional staff, age appropriate music and costumes, strong technique instruction, a welcoming family, and fun!!
Your first ballet class at Maine Dance Center
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.
