Why you should join us…
​
Our Dance Academy welcomes boys and girls from 4 years old. MHDA provides a safe place for young people to express themselves, build confidence, improve fitness and nurture those vital skills for life.
At MHDA we have created a unique learning environment where our littlest dancers are immersed in a magical world of wonder and our older students are equally nurtured and challenged to reach their full potential. We understand it is a necessity for dance classes to be fun and engaging so our dancers are able to grow in confidence, feel comfortable and assured that they’re being guided by teachers who love teaching. Dance requires commitment and discipline which is an essential life skill and a key driver of success in any and all walks of life.
The MHDA team are all professional and DBS checked (teaching Cechetti, ISTD, ABD and I-PATH syllabi in different dance genres) with extensive experience, knowledge and passion for their subjects and regular investment in our teams CPD.
