"Do you know how people say there are four main parts of you? Your heart, mind, body and soul? I love to dance because dancing feeds all of those things and leaves me feeling refreshed and new. Dancing at DMA feeds my heart because I am with my friends and having fun, my body because it is a form of exercise, my mind because I am thinking about the dance moves, and my soul because everyone is being quiet. It feels like I am a new person when I leave the studio. I love DMA because it has amazing teachers and we are required to take certain classes because the technique will make you a stronger dancer. I love that we get to talk about what we can improve on in the Empowering Young Minds curriculum each month with the older girls who I look up to."
"The Dance and Music Academy is an educational institution that continues to explore and create new ideologies to support their dancers. The instructors have the knowledge and technical experience to mold your dancer into what they desire to be. DMA gives your dancer opportunities to perform for many different stages nationwide. They have opportunities to promote their dances regionally and nationally. They have opportunities to join Companies to encourage growth in a specific area, perform and tour with Trifecta Dance Collective (the resident professional company at DMA), and choreograph pieces for various Chicago showcases. They have chances to mature and develop life-long friendships."
