Mission

Monroe Dance Company provides professional caliber training for all dance levels in a positive environment that focuses on hard work, discipline, responsibility, respect, and teamwork. We strive to develop dancers who are well-rounded in every genre of dance. Dancers train in ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, and tap to achieve this versatility.


MDC dancers represent MDA at competitions and conventions, participate in professional master classes, perform in local events, and experience live dance performances to enhance and deepen their understanding of the art form.


We proudly host team-bonding activities for our dancers such as picnics, parties, sleepovers, and more to build friendships that will last a lifetime.
