" My daughter Holly has learned discipline and strength during the years of dance training with MMDA. She has grown into a beautiful young dancer because of Mari and her dedication to her students."

"We moved to Lakeview this year and after researching different studios it became clear that MMDA"s was better and worth the gas. Our daughter is surrounded by the girls and teachers she has grown to love the last 6 years".

" My daughter Kayla has danced with Mari for 7 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mari puts her heart and soul into teaching her students the fundamentals of dancing while incorporating the latest dance moves. The recitals are phenomenal!!! Our family looks forward to them as Mari uses great music and the dances are very entertaining. She gets the moms and dads involved each year and sometimes has a "surprise" number that gets the audience rolling."

" I have watched my little sister grow as a dancer under Ms. Mari's instruction for the past 19 years. Now she is a teacher at MMDA and I feel very privileged to watch her teach both of my daughters(her nieces) the art of dance."

R. Loetzerich

" The dance recital runs very smoothly and is professionally done. I like how the music and dance moves are tasteful and age appropriate. "
