ALL CHILDREN HAVE GOD GIVEN WORTH

Every child who enters our building is LOVED, VALUED and accepted with the ability to learn and benefit from the joy of dance. This business was founded on the belief that all kids are wonderfully made with a hope and a future and that all kids of all color, faiths, background, shapes, backgrounds and abilities are welcome and loved at MDF.

EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

Yes, we want to have a successful business. But it really wouldn’t mean much if we weren’t able to do it with Integrity. When we make a promise, we will deliver on it. If we make a mistake, we will not only own it, we will fix it. We will always do the right thing for MDF and for our families.

POSITIVE ROLE MODELS

The people you surround yourself with can either lift you up or bring you down. We choose to lift up the families we serve and by the staff we bring to the MDF family. We also hold ourselves to a higher standard of Integrity as we lead children.

ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY

Dance is nothing if not an ever-evolving expression of creativity. We are born with it, but it gets Stamped-Out overtime unless nurtured. MDF is a place where creativity can grow in both adults and kids.

DANCE LESSONS TEACH LIFE LESSON

Most of our students will not go on to be professional dancers. In fact, we argue that it is not even the point. But rather, we want to teach kids to get up when they fall, to finish what they start, to win and lose with grace. To manage their time and work as a team towards a goal. These lessons, not “plies and pirouettes” are the lessons that last.

GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY

We leverage our success as a business for significance in our community. We will teach kids to use their gift and talent to serve others, and grow a stronger community.
