From the reviews
We love MMCA!! Miss Angie, Miss Lacie, Miss Julie, Miss A, Miss Brittany, and Miss Chloe have all been some of my daughter's teachers! They have helped her grow in ways I couldn't have imagined!
MAY 2025--I have worked wirh dancers and dance studios for many years as a professional performing arts teacher/director and as a performer. When our family decided to put our granddaughter into a dance program at the age of 2, we wanted a studio that provided a nurturing and caring environment and not a competitive…
Miss Angie and Miss Chloe have been absolutely wonderful with my daughter. When she first started, she was very shy and unsure of herself, but Miss Angie took the time to gently help her feel comfortable and included. That patience and care made such a difference. Now, my daughter truly loves going to dance.
Love Mountain Movers, they are so loving and caring of all their dancers. This is my daughter's first time doing any type of dance classes and she has completely falling in love with dance. They are very spiritual and love the lord and that is incorporated in everything they do.
Your first ballet class at Mountain Movers Creative 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.
