From the reviews
My granddaughter goes here and it's a well organized school. Mrs. Shannon is very sweet and kind.
Linda and Shannon at Mongan Dance Academy create such a warm welcoming community for their families! I was able to watch their Nutcracker show last year and I could easily tell how much they care about all of their students and how at ease all of their students felt on stage and with dancing, even the very young ones!
My daughter is in her 6th year dancing with Mongan, and we've loved it from the start! Even through Covid restrictions, this dance studio and the wonderful teachers here have helped her to thrive as a dancer.
We love how everyone is so attentive. And so professional I have my two daughters and they love it.
Your first ballet class at Mongan Dance Academy LLC
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.
