Minis Program

Here at MDS, we believe in teaching dancers everything a style has to offer! In regards to ballet, we believe there is a lot to offer such as poise, grace, respect, responsibility, respect, confidence and so much more! This class is designed to have some elements of play intertwined into the class while dancers are still learning many technical elements to be able to achieve our plans within the curriculum!

Join Us At Mariana's Dancing Studio!

  • Are you wanting your child to start dancing?

  • Is your child naturally movement and rhythm oriented, and you have a gut feeling he/she would love to dance?

  • Did your child try out several sports and other activities, but has not found his/her niche yet?

  • Does your child feel uneasy about their friends at school and is looking to be accepted for who they are, and not be prey of the typical stresses and pressures surrounding school friends?

  • Is your child mesmerized by watching dance TV shows or videos?

  • Has your child danced before and is now looking to get back into it?

  • Did your child attend dance classes but wasn't thrilled about the studio they attended and their environment/ philosophy?

  • Are you looking to provide your child with a healthy way to stay active, social and spark their creativity?

  • Does your child put on "shows" in your living room?

If you answer "YES!" to any of the above, and/or if you have any other motivation for which you would like your child to get involved in dancing, we have a program for you!
