What People Are Saying
Testimonials
"It's really fun. I get to be with new friends and we're learning how to do trickier steps just right. Miss Shae and Miss Melanie always make class really fun" -Lydia, 5
"For the last 15 years I have danced with DanceMaineia! I have taken all sorts of classes, and in each I have had all sorts of fun. I learn, I laugh, I smile, and most importantly, I dance! The thing I love most about DanceMaineia is the teachers' passion for dance. In each class they are enthusiastic, present, and ready to teach! I have enjoyed my time here and plan to continue on." Elle, 19
"For almost 10 years I had wanted to join a dance class as an adult but felt too intimidated to do so. When I finally decided to pursue this dream, I called DanceMaineia and spoke with Melanie. She was warm and kind, and I immediately felt welcome over a 10-minute phone call. Over two years later I am so grateful I made that phone call! I’ve been taking ballet, jazz, and lyrical, both the adult classes and some classes with mixed ages, and it is by far the bright spot in my day when I know I have dance class to look forward to.
It has been life-changing working with all of the talented, experienced teachers as well as students of varying backgrounds and levels who are all so accepting and make the environment a fun, and safe one to express creativity and emotion through movement. Dance has become a creative outlet for me and DanceMaineia has given me the medium to express that which cannot be spoken and the ability to learn about myself in new ways while having so much fun.
DanceMaineia offers not only skilled instruction in various dance forms but also an incredible, inclusive community of people who enjoy coming together to share in this beautiful art form." -Katarina, 40
