★★★★★Amber NewlonMy daughter loves dancing at MDA. I’ve watched her confidence grow so much in the last couple of years. MDA is like a second home for their dancers. Filled with amazing mentors to learn from. All of the adult and teen instructors are so patient, inclusive, and helpful with the minis/younger dancers. It’s heartwarming to see as a parent. The dance company runs like a well oiled machine. Communication is amazing and effortless between staff and parents. You can count on your kids being in numbers and costumes that are flattering and age appropriate. The studio itself is always clean and organized. It’s just a great place to watch your dancer grow!♥️
★★★★★michael FaustMarietta Dance Academy is such an amazing place. We have been blessed to be a part of the studio for over 12 years! Our three daughters have blossomed before our eyes into beautiful dancers and people inside and out thanks to the guidance and love from the staff at MDA. They have gained confidence and learned so much about hard work and dedication. They have also made life long friendships. Luckily our youngest is still only in third grade, so we have many years ahead of us at the studio to look forward to. Our small town of Marietta is lucky to have a place with such big hearted and knowledgeable instructors. In summary, we absolutely love Marietta Dance Academy!
★★★★★deborah edgarGreat program! Good variety with ballet, tap and tumbling. Very organized. The instructor has good rapport with the students and yet is firm. They're very flexible with leotards as well. They've installed commercial air cleaners too! Big commitment to sanitization.
★★★★★Cansas RiggenbachMy daughter is going into her 4th year at Marietta Dance Academy and we couldn’t be happier. She has gained grace, poise, and positivity. I appreciate Jill’s taste in appropriate dance and costuming for my daughter. Jill has been very hands on with students and teaches them more than just steps, she teaches them team work, responsibility, and respect. Marietta Dance Academy has been a wonderful environment for my daughter to grow in. Staff is incredible and so caring. Through the pandemic this year it was nice to have some normalcy with dance friends, even if Zoom was our only option.
★★★★★Erica Wiley LambertMy daughter danced with Marietta Dance Academy for 10+ years. I really can't say enough good things about the studio, staff, and owner/instructor, Jill Ruff. Our experiences there were always positive. As a mother you see and learn a lot by being around the "dance biz" for that many years. I'm so grateful that we found MDA when my daughter was starting her dance career. She not only received high-quality instruction with a strong emphasis on proper form, (which is so important to learn as a beginner) she also gained self-confidence, poise, a strong work ethic, and organizational skills that helped her become successful not only as a dancer, but as a student as well. I truly believe her educational success, particularly throughout high school and now in college, has been positively influenced by her experiences as a dance student at Marietta Dance Academy. She and I are both so grateful for the lifelong memories and friends we made together at MDA!
