From the reviews
Dancing at MMPAC has been by far one of the most influential experiences for me. There is a great, friendly environment that has helped me grow throughout the years, complete with highly qualified teachers who really care about the students, and friendly classmates who are eager to learn and dance.
I started dancing at MMPAC 8 years ago. The teachers have always been very welcoming. When I started I came from a Pre Dance offered at my pre school. MMPAC was what my teacher recommended for me, and I can see why. The staff are amazing, they give individual corrections to improve your dance technique!
I've been a student at MMPAC for the past 10 years and it is by far the best dance studio i've been to. There's such a positive environment and the teachers really have pushed me to be the best i could be. MMPAC has given be a home away from home and i'm proud to be a dancer there.
As a Senior in high school, MMPAC has been an exceptional studio. The teachers are always ready to help and classes are filled with information. I am beyond thankful to have had such a supportive staff behind my training for 13 years. Would highly recommend.
Your first ballet class at MMPAC - Mid Maryland Performing Arts 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.
