Reviews of Mari Milnar Dance Academy (Dance School)

Carlie

This is my daughter's second year dancing for Mari Milnar and I couldn't be happier with my choice to send her there. The teachers take so much time with her, they do a great job at always involving the parents and she looks forward to being in class with them every week. If you're looking for an awesome dancing school on the westbank, this is it!

My daughter, now 8, has been with MMDA since the age of three. It was a rough start in the beginning as she can tend to be a little on the shy side when doing something new. With the wonderful and patient instruction of Ms. Mari and her fabulous team she has grown in dance and absolutely loves going to class!! Not only is she taught dance etiquette, terminology, and proper form but she is learning valuable life lessons as well (such as having respect for yourself and others, social etiquette, and the value of teamwork). Two years ago we moved from Terrytown to Marrero and I thought that the drive may prove to be too much on a week night. I am sooooo glad that we decided to keep her at MMDA as they have proven time and again why the drive there is absolutely worth it!!

A true indication of the level of professionalism and talent at Mari Milnar is the culmination...RECITAL. I am always pleased and proud to invite my family and friends to watch the "crisp" performances!

This is my daughters 6th year at MMDA and there's no place I'd rather have her. The teachers really care about your child and put forth the effort to make sure your child has the best dance education they can. If you're looking for a dance school for your child I'd highly recommend MMDA. You don't get just a dance school, you get a family!! Having my daughter here is one of the best decisions I've made for her. Seeing the growth in her from year to year bc her teachers are dedicated to her is beyond impressive. I honestly love my MMDA family and look forward to the years to come

MMDA is one of the best dance studios on the Westbank. We have wonderful teachers, dancers and families who work together to bring the best opportunities in dance to our dancers. Being part of the MMDA family has given my daughter dance opportunities of a life time. She has danced her whole life and her hard work shows through her love of dance that grows more everyday due to the education and support given by her teachers and fellow dancers at MMDA

This is my daughter's second year dancing with MMDA, and we absolutely LOVE it! She has grown so much after her first year. Ms. Mari and all of the teachers are amazing and you can see their passion in teaching these kids. Even though we are still kind of new to MMDA, we already feel like family. I cannot wait to see my daughter grow more and more over the next years. Hands down the BEST dancing school around, and I danced for years at a few different schools and Mari Milnar puts on the best recitals compared to the ones I have seen.

Ms Mari has maintained her stellar reputation as a dance teacher! She was my teacher & mentor, and is now inspiring the passion for dance in my daughter. There is no better choice for your child's dance training out there!

My experience with Mari Milnar dates back over 30 years! She was my dance teacher and I loved the inspiration and passion she taught to all of her students! I am now a proud dance mom of two daughters who have been with Ms Mari since the age of 2 and I can not be anymore satisfied with their dance careers thus far! She offers a diversity of classes and welcomes all students and parents with open arms! I always like to call us One Big Happy Dance Family!

I have had the privilege of dancing under the instruction of Ms. Mari my entire life. I am now ecstatic to watch my daughter experience the same guidance that I experienced growing up. The Mari Milnar Dance Academy teaches young dancer the technique and terminology that they need to thrive as dancers while also teaching them life lessons such as loyalty, self-confidence and teamwork.

Great dance studio for beginners to professional. Lots of classes, excellent instruction. Everyone there loves dance

Melanie Ferguson

This is my daughter's second year at MMDA. We came to the studio after our previous school closed. She was very nervous about joining another school so late in her dancing education. She was welcomed with open arms and has been treated like she has been there forever. She has enjoyed being part of the award winning competition team. We look forward to the next couple of years as she works her way up to teacher graduate. Thank you to the amazing choreographers and to our MMDA family for making the transition so easy and for caring about my girl and her dance education!

Been here since I was 2! The teachers and people are amazing. The only place that is right for me. Home sweet home❤️❤️

Melissa Mueller

There aren't words to express my love for this talented woman. She was my life long instructor and now I get to watch my daughter learn from her. She gives her students the utmost attention. Mrs. Mari is hands down the best instructor New Orleans has to offer.

Carolyn Dufrene

My daughter has danced with Mari Milnar Dance Academy for the last eight years and she has enjoyed every minute of it! Mari is such a professional and puts on amazing recitals! I would recommend MMDA to anyone out there!

Paula Johnson

My granddaughter absolutely loves going to MMDA! She started dancing school at the age of 9, a late starter for dancing. This is her second year at MMDA and I must say everyone here has made her feel welcome from day one! They have guided her every step of the way. Mary has a true concern for each and every student who walks thru her door. She and her teachers strive to bring out the best in every student. My granddaughter has learned a lot since being there and loves going to dance classes. Thank you Mari and staff, for your devotion, caring, and the inspiration you give to my granddaughter and every student. Looking forward to the years ahead.

I went in not knowing anything. This year I am graduating from dancing not only as a dancer but as a better leader and team player. The teachers are amazing and so understanding on how each person dances differently. Everyone works the he the best they can be and I love it! #mmdastrong

My daughter has been taking dance from Mari Milnar, since she was two years old. I also took dance from Mari back in my younger days. Mari and her staff are fabulous with the little dancers. Also, Mari and her staff come up with the most beautiful, creative, and age appropriate dances.

Molly Myers

I grew up dancing with Mrs. Mari since I was two years old until I was able to graduate my senior year. My experience has been nothing but exceptional. Their dance recitals are not only entertaining, but classy! Mrs. Mari and her WHOLE staff have made me the person I am today. Their passion for dance quickly rubbed off on me, helped me to set goals and reach them, and have helped me open up my own dance studio. This dance academy was my second home for years, and the people there were my family and I wouldn't change it for the world. I owe my success solely to Mrs. Mari and her staff. I highly recommend this dance studio.

This is our first year here, my daughter technique has grown tremendously since the start of the dancing season. We felt very welcomed. So glad we found a amazing dancing family #MMDASTRONG

Holly Guillory

This is more than a dancing school. It's a family. From the principal teacher Mari Milnar all the way down to the students. We feel at home here and I am so blessed to be able to watch my daughter grow as not only a dancer, but as a young woman learning life lessons while inside the walls of the Mari Milnar Dance Academy.

I love this Dance Academy! The staff are very kind and super helpful with my daughter and Ms. Mari makes sure that EVERY little girl knows that she is special! My daughter is only 4 years old but I can see her blossoming as she learns the basics. So far I have been very happy with Mari Milnar it will dance right into your heart!
