Beautiful studio, dedicated teachers and staff. As a health care professional I was very impressed with Marquis Dance Academy and their strict protocol to follow public health and safety guidelines while providing an environment for the dancers to pursue their love of dance and grow.

My daughter has danced at Marquis for several years. She absolutely loves all of her teachers and they've all done an exceptional job at helping her grow as a dancer but also a person. In this pandemic year, Marquis staff has gone the extra mile to ensure that this season has no less value than the others. They've shown both flexibility and creativity to keep up with changing restrictions, ensure dancer safety, and still give dancers opportunities to grow and showcase the work they're doing.

Instruction is of the highest quality and the facility is the best in the city. Marquis dancers always feel special and have their time to shine whether you're a toddler performing your first recital routine on stage in a beautiful, fancy costume or an older, experienced dancer competing on an
