  1. DANCE CIRQUE AT MKDA

We are very proud to announce that MKDA is now DANCE CIRQUE certified! We have successfully completed the extensive DANCE CIRQUE certification course!

Congratulations to: Melissa Kelly-Lavoie, Julie Prévost, Melanie Carter, Stephanie Salvati & Jenna Black!

This Australian-based program is one-of-a-kind and will only be available at MKDA. It will be offered full-time starting in the Fall of 2023, but we will be offering package sessions for children to try it out this Winter. If your child loves it, they can register for the full-time class next Fall.

DANCE CIRQUE brings Aerial Silks, Juggling, Strength & Flexibility all in one class!

  1. DANCE DAD’S WANTED!!

MKDA is looking for Dad’s who are willing to bust a move on our stage at the year-end dance recital!! Dancing Daddy’s has always been a big crowd pleaser at our year-end show, but because of COVID, we’ve had to put it on hold…..BUT NOW….the time has come to bring them back!! We hope to get as many names as possible!  Dance Dad practices start on Thursday, November 17th from 8:45-9:45pm. We will start learning the choreography on November 17th, so come ready to learn, have fun & sweat!  To give your name, please email Melissa at:  melissa@themkda.com.
