About The Mid Shore Dance Academy

The Mid Shore Dance Academy, located in Easton, Maryland, has been cultivating a love for movement and artistry since its founding in 1996. We offer professional quality instruction for dancers of all ages and levels, from toddlers to adults, providing a comprehensive dance education that emphasizes community and artistry. Our diverse curriculum includes Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theater, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Aerial, and Barre. For our youngest dancers, 'First Steps' introduces pre-ballet basics and creative movement, while the 'Upper School' offers a leveled curriculum in foundational styles. Adults can enjoy dedicated adult ballet classes, and we also partner with Dancing On The Shore for social and ballroom dance offerings. Our highly qualified faculty, including Aimee, Kendall, Michele, Kristen, Rachel, Gabby, Grace, Katelyn, Camilla, Adrienne, Jenna, and Kerianne, guide students to develop essential skills such as artistry, confidence, balance, strength, and agility. Beyond regular classes, The Mid Shore Dance Academy fosters enrichment through programs like the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA) and the DELTA (Dance Education & Leadership Training Associate) program. Our student performance ensembles, including the Cross Currents Dance Company, provide valuable experiences and showcase dedication. We are committed to nurturing young talent, supporting dancers who pursue summer intensifies and university-level training, and fostering a lifelong love for dance within the Eastern Shore community.
