In-Class Dress Rehearsal Week is also our last regular class week of the 2025-26 dance year!

THANK A DANCE TEACHER WEEK

May 7th is “Thank a Dance Teacher Day” but at MDU, we are celebrating all week long because WE LOVE OUR TEACHERS SO VERY MUCH!

Thank A Dance Teacher Day is a global movement established by the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) to recognize the life-changing impact of dance educators. 

This is a great time for students to write their teacher a card, draw them a picture or simply say THANK YOU for all of their hard work - all year long! Our teachers don’t just teach dance - they inspire, uplift, and shape lives. We know our teachers would appreciate your kind words.

PARENTS: You can also participate in celebrating our teachers and their dedication to your children all year long. Give MDU a 5 STAR REVIEW on Facebook or Google and mention your teacher by name - we’ll share your kind words with them AND treat them to a gift card in honor of your 5 STAR shoutout!
