WELCOME TO SEASON 22!

Welcome to Miss Tanya’s School of Dance!

We are so excited to have you join our dance family. Thank you for choosing us to share the art of dance with your child. Our goal is to provide an experience that is not only educational but also fun, memorable, and full of new friendships.
At Miss Tanya’s School of Dance, we follow five core philosophies:

1.Provide the best environment for students to succeed to the fullest of their individual abilities.

2.Value each student as an individual, working with their unique strengths and needs.

3.Recognize both strengths and challenges— physical and mental—so every dancer can grow.

4.Foster confidence, self-esteem, and technical growth in a supportive environment.

5.Offer qualified, certified instructors who teach with proper technique, encouragement, and respect.

We look forward to sharing this dance journey with you and your child!

Best,

Miss Tanya & MTSD Staff
