Competition season is coming up quick.  Make sure you’re prepared with these tips from the seasoned staff of MDC.

Tip One: Make a checklist.

Prior to competition write down everything you need for each of your dance routines . This way as you pack you can check off everything you need without the terrible feeling that you forgot something .

Some things to include on your checklist are ….

Bobby pins , hairspray , elastics, dance shoes , ALL your costumes , a water bottle and maybe even some backstage snacks. And of course anything else your dance teacher told you to bring .

Tip Two: Pack your bag the night before

You don’t want to be running around like a crazy person the day of competition. Especially if it’s an early morning.  Have your checklist ready and pack your bag the night before to avoid the last minute rush out the door. This way you can start your competition day stress free!

Tip Three: HAVE FUN

This may just be the most important tip of all . Remember with all the hustle and bustle that competition season brings the most important thing to take away from it is not a medal or a big trophy but the memories of a good time.

We are all so excited for competition season here at MDC and can’t wait to hit the stage. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date on all things MDC.

Our amazing students are at it again.

Jordan is on Energy , our youngest competitive team.  Jordan has been dancing with Mdc since September 2015 but it is her  first year of competitive dance. Jordans  favourite style of dance  is Hip Hop.

When Jordan grows up she wants to be a teacher. A pretty cool fact about Jordan is that she can lick her nose with her tongue. Very cool Jordan!

We are so proud of you girls, keep up the great work in your classes.

Stay tuned for our February students of the month.

Over the last two months our dancers here at Mdc have been working incredibly hard and it totally showed in our Christmas presentation of The Nutcracker.

We are so proud of all our students and have noticed tremendous improvement in each and every one of them over the past few months.

A few students especially stood out to the mdc staff for their incredible attitudes and work ethic!

For November the Mdc staff would like to congratulate Lauren Evans and Savannah Corkum.

Lauren is a competitive dancer on team Pulse. Lauren also takes Ballet and Jumps and Turns to further develop her technique. Lauren loves dance because it is a fun way to express yourself.

The Mdc staff have noticed a huge improvement in Lauren’s technique and she never misses a class! Way to go Lauren , keep up the great work.

Savannah is a recreational dancer. Savannah is in 3 classes and is only 3 years old! Savannah is in Creative Movement , Hip Hop Tots and Tappin Tots.

Savannah will be doing a solo this spring which she is thrilled for . She is especially excited to wear her kitty cat costume onstage!

Keep up the great work everyone. We can’t wait to see our #mdcfam back in the studio in the New Year!

Wow, what an amazing weekend. We are so proud of all our dancers that performed this past weekend in Mdc’s presentation of the Nutcracker! Mdc had 135 dancers onstage , 77 being under 8 years old!

Jazz , tap , ballet , hip hop , we had it all! All of our dances performed to original music form George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.  This put an original spin on all of our pieces and gave our dancers here at mdc a unique opportunity to perform to traditional instrumental music no matter what style their dance was.

Who says you can’t do Hip Hop to orchestra music? Not us here at mdc!!

For many of our dancers it was their first time performing on the big stage and they blew us away!

Our older dancers also rocked it onstage.  Below are Sarah and Gabby from Pulse troupe who did an amazing job in their solo roles as Clara and the Nutcracker prince.

We also had Momentum dancer Hayden as Fritz.

And Pulse dancer Berta as The Sugar Plum Fairy.

We can’t forget to mention The Motion Daddies who dazzled the audience during intermission with their dads in tutu’s show to raise money for our NYC 2018 trip.Way to go dads!

We are so proud of each and every one of our dancers who took the stage over the weekend. Thank- you all for working so so hard not only on Sunday, but the whole term leading up to the show. We could feel the love from our #mdcfam.

We have some pretty brave dads here at MDC…

In July 2018 several of our competitive dancers are heading to NEW YORK CITY for National Dance Day. To help them fundraise for their trip , these brave dads are going to be dancing a ballet routine in our Christmas recital at intermission!  

As you can see these dads are working very hard to put on an amazing performance.

They need YOUR help though. The dads are aiming to raise pledges and only if they raise enough will they perform this lovely routine they have been working oh so hard on. To pledge you can DM us on Instagram or Facebook , send us an email or purchase recital ticket to come watch the show , Sunday December 17th at 3pm.

Wow , each time members of our MDC fam hit the stage they impress us more and more.

The dancers performed a total of 9 routines.They Received multiple gold medals, a top mark award and a special judges award.

Traveling competitions are such an amazing way for dancers to bond and travel with their dance friends. It truly is an experience that creates friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

It was such a fun filled weekend and everyone was getting into the dance spirit. Including one of our younger dancers , Savannah, who had come to cheer the older dancers on. Here she is showing off her hip hop face she learned from some of our older MDC fam members. Remember bigs, a little is always watching!
