Small Studio This class provides the skills that are unique to the MAD training program, skills that set the dancers we train apart from the group in auditions and performances.  Based on the university method of training the whole person, this important addition to the MAD training program prepares dancers for college dance and careers in dance.  “Without a full understanding of these principals, dancers are not prepared to work in the contemporary trends of the art of dance.” –Anandha Ray
