Imagine your little one tiptoeing down the stairs on Christmas morning to see a big box wrapped with a bright pink bow. Inside, they find a beautiful tutu that’s all their own — a tutu you got for FREE just by bringing her to a FREE dance class and signing up for our Winter/Spring session!
Here’s how it works: Step 1: In November and December, you can bring your dancer to one of the Miami County Dance Movement locations to try a real dance class for FREE!. Step 2: If they like it, you can sign them up for classes that begin January 4th. Step 3: We give you a beautiful pink tutu that you can take home and wrap and place under the tree. Step 4: When your child opens the gift on Christmas morning, you tell them that you ALSO signed them up for dance classes at MCDM and they will get to perform on stage in June, just like a REAL ballerina! Step 5: Watch your little one fall in love with dance and grow into a lovely and poised young adult at MCDM! CLICK HERE TO SCHEDULE YOUR TRIAL CLASS Don’t delay! Tutus and available classes are limited.

“MCDM Online” is a PRIVATE Facebook group. In order to become a member you must request to “join group” at the above link. Your request will be approved as long as you have a currently enrolled student. Please answer the group question by providing the name of your enrolled student/students. If you do not answer the question, your access may be delayed or denied, and will require additional administrative work and communications. We would like to verify that we don’t have “strangers” requesting access.
What all is available to you?
1) Daily “Style” classes – These classes will be grouped together by the day. I have given the teachers the option of prerecording or doing a Facebook Live video for their convenience.
What: Mondays – Ballet, Tuesdays – Jazz, Wednesdays – Hip Hop, Thursdays – Tap, Fridays – Little Ones, Saturdays – Tumbling/Acro, Sundays – Stretch & Conditioning. When: Little Ones – 9 am (Intermittent), Rising – 11 am, Elevated – 1 pm, Apex – 3 pm (Sundays 9 AM only, all levels) Location: Private Facebook Group – MCDM Online! Who: Anyone & Everyone! (Members of Private Facebook Group – MCDM Online!) “Style” classes of the week are videos that members can watch, at any time, from your favorite teachers! Each style will have at least 3 levels offered, Rising (beginner), Elevated (Intermediate), and Apex (Int/Advanced)
BONUS: You’re not only getting your currently enrolled MCDM class, but access to EVERY CLASS AND STYLE that we offer in our regular studio schedule! Challenge yourself or try something new – BONUS for all! My joy is that all of these classes are taught by our incredible teaching staff. This gives the connection of familiar faces to our cherished students.
2) “Style” of the Day Dance History BONUS What: “History” facts, articles or resources matching the “Style” class of the day! Example: “Ballet Mondays” will include a post on the history of Swan Lake, ballet vocabulary or fun facts, etc. When: Once per day Location: On Private Facebook Group – MCDM Online! Who: Anyone & Everyone! (Members of Private Facebook Group – MCDM Online!)
3) “Movement challenge” of the week BONUS This is a super fun BONUS to create and foster our online “community” – I’m open to any ideas! So far, I have a family dance challenge, student choreography project, teach a family member your recital dance, dance history fun fact contest, home dance space challenge, dance painting/drawing challenge, Tik tok challenge – there are so many ways to go here! One per week.
4) Dance Games and Activity Handouts BONUS This is yet another BONUS resource for our students! Examples: Each week, Creative Movement ages receive a dance coloring page, Rising levels receive a dance bingo game, Elevated levels receive a wordsearch, and Apex levels receive some sort of “match the dance vocabulary word to it’s meaning”.
5) Recital Choreography Rehearsals
What: Scheduled Virtual Rehearsal with YOUR classmates to continue work on Recital pieces live and in real-time. When: Your student’s REGULAR class time. Location: Zoom.us (app on phone and/or website on computer) Who: Each MCDM class on a private Zoom with their regular teacher.
Some classes (specifically the younger ones and tumbling/acro) will require another family member, parent or sibling involvement. Make it a full family activity for added fun! It will be most beneficial to make a schedule for your family and kids that includes their regular activities! On the day or night that they have dance, you can still give the same experience – Put on your favorite dance outfit, proper shoes (if applicable), proper hair, water bottle, and even a snack! Life goes on!
