MAD is a wonderful place that not only trains dancers but fosters and inclusive family environment. The kids work VERY HARD and love every minute. From hip hop, ballet and jazz to dance Ministry and theater arts, MAD has something for everyone.

My daughter does enjoy the classes that she takes here. Some of the people that work here are really really nice and look out for the kids a lot. However, some of the younger staff members at the front desk really needs some work in terms of Customer Service. You should not be gossiping with other people about the parents that come in to pick up the children from the dance classes. I do not think I will be enrolling my child here again because I do not like the interaction with some of the front desk staff unfortunately. Ms. Davon and Ms. Autumn are awesome though! SN---I'm not sure why some of this behavior is so typical of certain types of businesses around here. I used to have neighbors that didn't do any business around here or even send their child to school here and did everything in Columbia near their jobs. I now know why that is unfortunately.

I love MAD! 💙 My daughter has attended the dance academy for 6 years and her confidence, technique, knowledge of dance and dance vocabulary has improved each year. It’s a family at MAD and Ms. Darby (director) is transparent and keeps the dance family informed with information regarding your child and the school. Ms. Darby is so loving and committed to her craft. It definitely shows through her work @ the dance academy. She talks to your child as if she’s her own! She makes professional recommendations based on your child’s needs. The school offers so much to challenge your child and to improve on any area that’s needed. I’m so glad I chose the Maryland academy of dance (MAD) as my daughters dance school!💙💙💙

My daughter has ALWAYS loved to dance; and since joining MAD, I've seen that "spark" grow even more. The teachers are incredibly patient, and nurturing; and are always the consummate professionals. They've shown my daughter that little girls, with big, bold, personalities can still be graceful, beautiful ballerinas. Darby Pack and the MAD family are amazing! You will not be disappointed
