School
Minnesota Dance Theatre & School
MDT offers classes for all levels of ability, open to a range of ages, from preschool to adult. Central to our purpose is inspiring and challenging students to achieve their best.
Students in the MDT school are nurtured to reach their potential for artistry and self-confidence. Our dedicated faculty provides expert guidance for the student to grow both technically and artistically, not only to become a professional dancer, but also to cultivate the focus and self-discipline required for success in all areas of life.
