Reviews of Maritime Dance Academy (Dance School)

I feel like it was more of a daycare then actually teaching me things. I was in theatre and I didn't have enough direction, the kids in my class didn't either. It was basically overpriced daycare. I wouldn't recommend if your kid is ACTUALLY interested in drama/theatre.

My daughter Lauren loves MDA! The intensive training program is well-organized and focused on progression. Lauren has grown so much in her few years at MDA and I feel it's not only attributed to her own dedication, but because of the instructors, lessons, testing and more.

Amazing, my daughter has been going for 4 years and we absolutely love it.

I wish it was possible to rate lower than one star. The company values fortune rather than it's dancers well-being. It has confused an art form with riches.

They have taught my daughter to push herself and to do more outside of her Comfort zone. She is very flexible and has a gymnastics background and they helped her to open up and show her full potential.

A dance company should focus on *dance*. Not the profits they accumulate. If you want to learn the beautiful art form of dance, please consider a studio who wish for the best for their dancers.

My family and I had a similar experience. The staff was rude and non responsive, my daughter felt excluded and cried. The bedford location to be exact seems to cater to those they are familiar with. Which is fine but try to market your services to that sect you want to attract, instead of taking money from families and leaving the kids experiences marred. The camp was sold to my daughter as a platform to enhance and develop her existing skills but all it did was cause us to rebuild her confidence. Thanks Maritime Dance you rock.

This dance institution has been a complete and utter disappointment. The teachers are children who have no ability to properly communicate to parents. There is no individual connection with students. They are only focussed on the very top level dancers and not those who are coming into the school and starting from the ground up. So much stress has been caused to the students by ineffective communication on dance exams etc. They are archaic in their communication, by insisting on sending important information home via a piece of paper with a nine-year-old child. They do not use email effectively to communicate to parents. The admin staff are rude and incompetent. My daughter felt so isolated attending the school, and she is a child who has been involved in multiple high level athletic programs. Bottom line, this is a bargain basement dance school trying to act like a high-quality one. You will pay the fees and not get any type of personal connection and return. The owner of this business should seriously invest her time in understanding how her clients feel about the school before it is too late.
