Happy Students
We love our MK dance family! Daughter has learned so many new skills; mentally and physically. Such a supportive environment that encourages and pushes the students to be their best. Amazing staff and teachers!!
I can not RAVE enough about MK dance academy. As a mom, I have seen the change in my daughter’s confidence and improvement in her technique. I love seeing my daughter feel good about meeting goals setting new ones, pushing herself, and not giving up. Seeing her friendships with all the girls and relationship with her teachers really feels like we are part of a dance team we can be proud of.
We couldn’t be happier for the choice we made for our girl to dance at MK Dance Academy. The professional level of training the staff brings to the table is top notch, but beyond that, their investment in my daughter is so special. Clearly she is living her best life.
