Monarch Dance Academy | Philadelphia County, PA

My daughter has been attending MDA since she was 2 years old and she just turned 6. I love this school; that has turned into my daughter and I extended family . The teachers are knowledgeable , patient and caring . My daughter loves to come to class and is fond of the bonds she has created while attending MDA. My daughter currently takes 7 classes and is a competitive dancer who’s on the dance schools company . Each class I get to witness firsthand the teachers dedication to their craft and their willingness to support my daughter and other dancemates to their full potential. Being a dance mom has allowed me to watch my daughter to blossom recreationally , emotionally ,physically and her talents are greatly associated with the dedication each teacher instills in her. Highly recommended !!! Yusra’s Mommy

From the start, Aliya, owner of MDA, was responsive to all of my emails with questions I had prior to enrollment. On my daughters first day of class, Aliya made her feel very welcomed! I absolutely love how she starts and ends each class with having the students recite affirmations! She really helps the students find their confidence and discipline through dance. Aliya and her team display talent, dedication and passion. MDA offers a variety of classes at affordable prices! My daughter looks forward to dance every week. I highly recommend Monarch Dance Academy to any parent who is looking to enroll their child into dance.

I have yet to come to the Monarch Dance Academy. However, I have to let the everyone know how impressed I am with the kindness shown to me not to mention the patience shown!!! I am the grandfather of a very beautiful spirited 6 year old, who lost her father to gun violence. Now playing Pop-Pop and Dad is my job. A special shout out to Ms. Aliyah. I had no idea you are the big chief!!! Your totally awesome. I have so much on my plate, but we are coming!!!!

This dance school is amazing!! I've been dancing here for more than a year (my sister for 2+ years) and we have absolutely enjoyed every minute of our dance classes. When I first joined, I felt very self-conscious and timid, but now, my confidence is rising high, and MDA made me feel welcome! I 100% recommend this dance school, it is such a great experience, we're practically a family! The owner, Ms. Aliya, is one of the kindest and nicest people I've ever met. She is an outstanding dance teacher as well, very communicative and very professional when it comes to business. When it comes to dance schools, I would always choose Monarch Dance Academy :)
