From the reviews
Love this dance studio! My sisters and I grew up here and now my daughter has been dancing here. This is her 4th year, and she LOVES it! Not only have they taught us the techniques of dance and how fun it is to dance but they taught us that there is family outside our own family!
Have been there for 16 years. The best studio around! Focused on technique, and doing it right. I have volunteered there very summer for years and would never go anywhere else. MAFA is a family that you’re lucky if you can be apart of :)
The people there are so nice and they make us train very hard which I like. My teacher name Tanya is the best
I love this dance studio! They really create a family and support system for every dancer!
Your first ballet class at Moderne Academie of Fine Arts
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.
