Powered by GoogleWonderful studio. We very much value the positive role models from the dance assistants, big kids and teachers! Our daughter leaves happy and confident and has a great time dancing here.
My daughter just graduated from MKSD last month. She loves this studio, not only did her technique and love of dance improve (we were at another studio for a few years) she was welcomed with open arms by Marianne, all her wonderful teachers and especially all the students. The graduating class of 2024 were so special and the bonds they created will last a life time, I really can't say enough about them. The range of classes mean there is something for everyone, a special shout out to Marianne, Britney and Taylor, we will miss you so much.
Highly skilled, nurturing teachers provide excellent dance training in a joyous environment. My teenaged daughter has thrived at Marianne Kelley's for the past eight years and considers it her second home. Marianne also puts on a class act, full production of The Nutcracker each December that is just as exhilarating to watch as it is for MKSD students to perform in each year- from the tiniest tots dancing as gingerbread children to her older, advanced students shining in the lead roles. This production is a real bonus experience for dancers who belong to the studio- and a total treat for their families, too!
Our daughter started at MKSD 2 years ago after a 3 year sabbatical from dance. Marianne and the other teachers at MKSD worked closely with her so she could improve quickly and feel more confident in her dance technique and performance! The other students welcomed her and made her feel right at home!
If you are looking for an amazing dance studio with top notch teachers, as well as owners who are very professional while treating their dancers with the utmost compassion, you have found it! MKSD is not just another dance studio, it is truly the best, it is a dance family. During these difficult and trying times, Marianne and David have made sure to treat all of these children like their own by making sure they are as safe as possible, while still be able to get back in the studio to do what they love! My daughter has danced with Marianne and her staff for 11 years and I highly recommend MKSD! 💙
