For MDS, the connection between dance and life is integral. While strengthening MDS students’ dance technique is what brings us together, building up our self confidence in who we are as people is what guides our connection to ourselves and our movement. Dance is life, and through MDS’ teaching philosophy our students become the best version of themselves as a dancer and as a person. This is our movement, our community, our method, and we invite you to join us at MDS to support and cultivate your dance and movement path individually and within our community.
Our offerings include...
For students who are looking to further their dance training in a more rigorous way MDS has competitive dance teams that rehearse weekly in-studio. Our competitive dance teams are invitation only and run from August-June. MDS goes to 3-4 conventions/competitions per year, our competition season is from January to May, and our recital takes place in June.
For our senior company, on top of their competition dances they also create concept videos. They come up with a concept, work on location, learn about dance for camera and how to shoot their concept, culminating in a short and final concept video. Experiencing dance for camera curriculum lets them explore their own choreographic and directorial voice with the assistance of Kyra and MDS Faculty.
Team bonding is vital to MDS and through our big sis and little sis program we create dance families. At all of our holiday
parties we do fun team bonding games with our dance families. We also attend a select number of local dance shows in LA as a part of our INSPIRE events and we do a team bonding activity and lunch before and then all attend the show together, getting inspired by our local professional dancers.
Getting to know ourselves better and form a deeper connection with our team members is a key focus of MDS. MDS team members take the first 5 minutes of class to do a journal activity and check-in with themselves and also their peers. We have a framework for our connection which allows us to know ourselves and our teammates better and move into the rest of our class and movement wholeheartedly.
Private Lessons
For students looking to take class recreationally or delve deeper into a certain technique, privates and small group lessons are available to all ages, all levels, and all abilities. Whether you prefer one on one attention to develop your technique and gain confidence in a particular style or you want to start your dance journey on your own or with some friends, privates are a great way to accelerate your training and get the individualized attention you need.
Adult Fitness
MDS also offers personal fitness training for adults that blends HIIT training, yoga, sculpt, dance cardio, meditation, and dance strengthening and stretching exercises all in one class creating a full body workout that strengthens and stretches the body.
College Counseling
For our older high school students there is private college counseling preparation for those applying as dance and art majors. Guided through the whole college application process, the student will be prepared for any in person audition, complete video auditions, and receive help on their personal statements and essays, dance/arts resume, taking them from start to finish through the entire application.
