What Parents Are Saying…
"My daughter has been training as a figure skater for several years, but since she started ballet classes at McDonald-Wilson Dance Academy, her skating has improved in ways we never imagined! The focus on balance, flexibility, and posture has made a huge difference in her jumps and spins. The personalized private lessons have been especially beneficial, helping her work on specific skills. We’ve seen her confidence grow on the ice and in class. We’re so grateful for the supportive and professional environment at MWDA!"
