Testimonials
"Kyra is an incredible dance teacher. She knows how to find a perfect balance between being professional and personable. Her students immediately feel comfortable working with her and are inspired to try their best in each class because that’s what Kyra does—brings her best self to each lesson. She knows just what each student needs to help them grow and does so in a fun atmosphere."
-Leanne Iacovetta-Poirier
Former UCLA Summer Dance Intensive Director
“Kyra is the most wonderful dance teacher who has been instructing my daughter for the past four years. She is a brilliant choreographer who is kind, patient and warm. Kyra is also very inspiring to my daughter and has been an exemplary mentor as she is incredibly bright and creative, highly motivated, very organized, and hard working. Kyra is an absolute gem. My daughter truly adores her (and so do I!).”

MDS Parent
"As a parent, I’m so grateful for what MDS Dance Studio offers beyond dance training. Under Ms. Kyra’s kind, steady leadership, the studio feels like an etiquette and sportsmanship class wrapped in dance. She teaches discipline with compassion and sets high expectations while making every child feel seen, respected, and supported. I’ve watched my children grow not just in skill, but in confidence, self-awareness, and how they shows up as a teammate. Ms. Kyra and her staff lead with consistency and kindness creating an environment where children feel safe to work hard and shine. MDS truly partners with parents in shaping confident and respectful kids, and that is something special."

MDS Parent
“Without Kyra there would be no Violet in dance—she went from not liking it at all at a previous studio to being decidedly a competitive dancer. She identifies as a dancer, and that’s all Ms. Kyra! Kyra has been teaching my daughter for the past 6 years, since she was 2 years old. Violet has achieved her top performances and several first-place awards, boosted by the self-confidence instilled by Kyra!”
-Kellie Hartwell
MDS Parent
“Kyra has been a teacher and mentor to my daughter for 8 years. She is an experienced dancer and choreographer with an eye for detail and a kind heart. She knows how to teach proper technique in many dance forms but also makes it fun. My daughter grew as a dancer and as a human being. I am grateful for Kyra’s tutelage of my dancer. As my daughter has gone on to college, Kyra has continued to be a part of our family and is now my personal trainer!”
