About MBC
Our emphasis is on the traditional role of classical dance as a performing art. Our teachers are experienced and professional instructors in traditional ballet, modern, tap and jazz dance. The school offers classes for children preschool age to adult. Students improve their posture, coordination, rhythm, flexibility, self-control, self-confidence and poise.
