From the reviews

Ignore all the negative reviews, they are mostly kids who came from Dance Moms and I’ve never been to this studio but I’ve heard good things about it.

★★★★★ — Charlie, Jun 2019

My daughter has been at MDP (on their company team) for the last four years. Before that, she danced at another studio in Temecula where she was nothing but a number and they placed no importance on technique.

★★★★★ — Charity, Mar 2016

MDP is an amazing studio. My daughter started there a little over a year ago and from day one the instructors and students made her feel welcome. Erin and her staff of instructors go above and beyond to produce amazing dancers. I can't believe how much my daughter's technique has improved in one short year.

★★★★★ — A, Mar 2016

My daughter has been going here for quite some time now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The staff here is great, the teachers are Nothing but amazing, and the studio is always clean and up to standards.

Your first ballet class at Murrieta Dance Project

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.
