We absolutely love Metropolitan Dance Theatre! My children have been dancing here for the past two years, and the growth we've seen in their love and appreciation for dance has been incredible. The variety of classes offered is outstanding — from ballet and jazz to tap, hip hop, and more, with multiple days and times to fit any schedule. What truly sets MDTNO apart is that they also offer musical theatre and voice classes, which is a rare find among dance schools. But the best part? The people. Jaune, Ms. Pam, and all the wonderful instructors have become like family. They truly care about every dancer, see each student's potential, and go above and beyond to help them find the perfect fit in classes. The atmosphere is one of support, encouragement, and fun, all while helping students grow and be challenged in the best way. We’re so grateful to be part of the MDTNO family and can’t recommend them highly enough!
MDTNO is truly top notch. My daughter cherishes the family atmosphere. The teachers know her by name and are always encouraging her to try new skills. She has flourished in her 4 years at MDTNO. She can’t wait to begin again in the fall.
My daughter has attended MDTNO for the past 7 years, and I danced there myself as a teen. Jaune and her staff are wonderful. They meet each child where they are and help them grow through dance. They teach more than just technique — they instill responsibility, integrity, and hard work. MDTNO has been a positive, supportive place for our family.
Metropolitan is the best thing that has ever happened to me! The bond at this studio is so powerful and this is truly my second family. I’ve learned so much about performance and dance as well as life lessons from my teachers and friends! My passion for dance continues to grow every single day that I am working in the studio.
This place is my home away from home dancing at Metropolitan has been the best decision I have ever made. The teachers are easily the best people to work with and they are so amazing at what they do, and Mrs. Jaune is an absolute star I want to be her when I grow up. These past 14 years have been the best ever and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. MDT for life🫶🏻🫶🏻
