I absolutely love MJDA. My daughter just recently joined and she's been dancing since she was 4. I can already tell that this dance company is organized/professional and wants your dancer to grow!! I'm super excited that my daughter is a part of this prestigious company.

My daughter Cylar has been a part of MJDA since she was four years old and she's currently eight years old. She has enjoyed participating in her weekly dance classes and loves performing in the dance recitals. The extra activities such as treats, different dress themes, and Halloween festivals also adds fun for the dancers. She was proud to be crowned in 2021 for selling the most ads in the souvenir booklet for Little Miss Top Sales. She looks forward to continuing her dance experience with MJDA.

The best dance academy in Columbia. My grand daughter attends and is doing so good. She’s shy but when starts dancing not a shy bone in her body. The owner is so nice and she loves all the kids and has a heart of an angel. My granddaughter dance teacher Ms. Density is the sweetest she love each of her kids and is very passionate in her teaching. All the staff are wonderful. I am very pleased with this dance academy. I highly recommend Mrs. Jenkins Dance Academy.

My daughters had their first classes here over two years ago and I have been so pleased with our experience. Mrs. Jenkins and her team are incredibly gifted, policies and schedules are communicated clearly, and I couldn't have asked for a better environment to instill a love of dance in my kids.
