We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mallory Academy of Dance and Arts. This studio has been a second home to our daughter since she was just 3 years old, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. The instructors are not only highly skilled, but also deeply caring and patient. They break away from the stereotypical mold of what a dancer "should" look like and welcome students of all sizes, backgrounds, and abilities. That inclusive spirit is something truly special. What sets this studio apart is its commitment to developing well-rounded dancers. Beyond teaching technique and choreography, they also provide education in nutrition, anatomy, dance history, and multiple styles of dance. As a parent, I especially appreciate how much Natalia invests in her dancers. The quarterly feedback is so helpful—it gives us insight into what our child is excelling at and where she can continue to grow. Our daughter began with inward-turning feet and a love for movement. Today, she’s part of the competition team and thrives in an environment that challenges her while nurturing her confidence. This studio is more than just a place to dance—it’s a family. We are forever grateful.

My daughter has joined dance & Mallory Academy almost 3 yrs now. She is 10yrs old. It’s been such a great experience for her. Natalia’s mission is not only to learn techniques of dance but the history of dance, anatomy , nutrition behind it as well as promoting to be an overall good person, disciplined, and leader. This year I’ve seen my daughter grown even more in her dancing. The studio feels like family especially seeing the passion Natalia and her mom Dawn have in teaching and love for all their dance kids including help from their assistant April who keeps all the parents informed in advance. Go watch a show first to see it on your own. Thats what we did when we watched the nutcracker for the 1st time and knew we made the right decision.

We’ve been part of Mallory Academy of Dance since my daughter was 4. She is now 9, and I truly can’t say enough good things. What started as a whim recommendation has become one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The studio has not only helped her grow into a strong, graceful dancer, but has also shaped her into a confident, hardworking, and resilient young girl. Through dance, she’s learned that she can do hard things, how to work through challenges with patience and discipline, and how to be part of a team. What sets Mallory Academy apart is how deeply they care about developing character, not just talent. They’ve taught her the importance of nutrition, how to care for her body, and the pride in being a woman. They foster a true sense of family, inclusion, and belonging, celebrating dancers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and abilities. From competitions to shows, my daughter loves every minute she spends at the studio, and we are so thankful to be part of a place that believes in lifting up every dancer, both on and off the stage.

Our daughters have been attending Mallory Academy of Dance for about 6 years. We love the size of the studio, professional quality of instruction and the atmosphere of encouragement and unity between the dancers. We feel our girls are receiving excellent instruction and can see them growing each year. I would recommend Mallory Academy to anyone looking for a new dance studio!

We Absolutely love Mallory Academy! The teachers are incredibly skilled and truly dedicated to helping and motivating every student. They work with all children, regardless of background or experience, and create such an inclusive and supportive endowment. We love participating in all the class dances and especially look forward to Nutcracker- it’s such a special tradition. A wonderful studio to be apart of, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my child’s growth and confidence!

Excellent instruction from instructors who value proper technique as well as performance qualities. Costumes are reasonably priced and appropriate for various age groups. Our kids have had great experiences overall with the competition team as well as in RAD examinations. Every business experiences growing pains, as we have witnessed over the years, and Mallory Academy has grown tremendously in their business practices and established itself as a community inclusive of various individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. Pricing is as expensive as any other dance studio but less expensive with regard to costumes. In addition, students are taught to respect themselves and others, the importance of sleep and nutrition, and to seek experiences that are challenging as well as rewarding. Bullying and other disruptive/potentially damaging behavior is strictly not tolerated, so you feel your children are safer since there is a policy in place to handle such behaviors. Parents are also encouraged to participate as Nutcracker performers, as students alongside their children, as prop and costume alterers/blingers/menders, backstage helpers, etc. Happy we found this village to help raise our dancers.
