Testimonials
We have LOVED The Movement Dance Center! We’ve attended for almost 2 years and my girls went from very little experience to having so much growth! The dance instructors are fabulous! I feel that it’s very inclusive. The owner is so helpful and you can tell she really cares. We’ve loved our experience and will continue to go there!! Thank you Ricci and MDC!!!!❤️
Alesha Allred
We have been a part of The Movement Dance Center since 2014 when my daughter was 4 years old. I say “we” because it’s a second family to us, not just something my daughter is involved in. The studio owner and director, Ricci Galvan, really encourages and cultivates that united, community culture among all the dancers and their families. Some of my daughter and I’s closest friends have been made through this studio. In addition to this, the dance training and experience my daughter has had over these 9 years has been fantastic. She has had tremendous growth in her technique and has had the opportunity to learn and be trained in multiple styles of dance. This studio provides opportunities to perform and optionally compete, and the mental growth and confidence my daughter has gained by having these opportunities has helped her not only in dance but in other areas of her life. I would absolutely recommend The Movement Dance Center to anyone looking for a quality extracurricular experience for their child.

I have taken my daughters to the Movement Dance Center for years and they love it! The range of classes they offer accommodates their different talents and personalities; which also makes the recitals very entertaining! The instructors are enthusiastic and supportive. Ricci is an outstanding role model for my girls–not only is she an accomplished woman–but she has been influential in teaching them endurance and maintaining a positive attitude in life.
Kristi Mayfield
I absolutely love MDC! My daughter has been with teacher Ricci for 5 years and will never go anywhere else. Ricci’s love of dance shows as she teaches the kids at her studio. If you want a studio where your child will excel at dance but also learn to love it and have fun, this is the studio to go to! Costumes are always modest and the pricing can’t be beat! LOVE MDC!!❤️
