From the reviews

We stumbled upon MDM when our previous studio didn’t have spots available that worked with our schedule. I was immediately impressed with the organization and superb communication from the studio. If I ever need an answer to a question, I know I have resources with the answers.

★★★★★ — Allison, Mar 2025

MDM is a wonderful space for my dancers to be themselves and to learn and train. My favorite part about MDM is that they are encouraged to be an individual and create their own magic. My girls have loved MDM since the moment they stepped into the building.

★★★★★ — Tanisha, Sep 2021

We recently moved to Wichita and MDM has been one of the best parts of our transition! They are so kind, very organized, reasonably priced and most of all very talented! My daughter can’t hardly wait to get to her next class each week! I feel like she is truly cared about! Thank you MDM!

★★★★★ — Katie, Mar 2025

Your first ballet class at Midwest Dance Mechanix

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.
