We’ve had such a great experience at Mallory. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and encouraging with the little ones. It really feels like a little family there, which has made such a difference for us. They’re always happy to answer questions and are so supportive of the kids. We also absolutely love their Frozen Camp during the summer — they’re always such a fun experience. As a parent, it means a lot to find a place where your child feels comfortable, supported, and excited to go. We’re so happy we found Mallory and would definitely recommend them to other families.

This is so much more than a dance studio, it's a wonderful family who is helping me raise my three young girls to be well-rounded women. The members of the Mallory Family are each are incredibly talented and creative dancers who are training my daughters to be the best of the best, but more importantly, they build up my girls from the inside out. They teach them how to positively support one another, maturely accept constructive criticism, self-motivate to improve their skills, and so much more. The teach additional free quarterly classes about nutrition, history, French terminology, different dance styles, and more! There is zero tolerance for bullying which makes the studio such a happy and healthy place! The parents and siblings are involved in every production, filling our studio and the theaters with laughter and love. My daughters are trained at the highest level, while also certifying with the Royal Academy of Dance out of London, making them some of the most skilled dancers in the world, but it never feels like work to them! Natalia Mallory pours her heart and soul into her dancers and her productions, and I am honored my girls are growing up in the glow of her shining spotlight.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mallory Academy of Dance and Arts. This studio has been a second home to our daughter since she was just 3 years old, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. The instructors are not only highly skilled, but also deeply caring and patient. They break away from the stereotypical mold of what a dancer "should" look like and welcome students of all sizes, backgrounds, and abilities. That inclusive spirit is something truly special. What sets this studio apart is its commitment to developing well-rounded dancers. Beyond teaching technique and choreography, they also provide education in nutrition, anatomy, dance history, and multiple styles of dance. As a parent, I especially appreciate how much Natalia invests in her dancers. The quarterly feedback is so helpful—it gives us insight into what our child is excelling at and where she can continue to grow. Our daughter began with inward-turning feet and a love for movement. Today, she’s part of the competition team and thrives in an environment that challenges her while nurturing her confidence. This studio is more than just a place to dance—it’s a family. We are forever grateful.

My daughter has joined dance & Mallory Academy almost 3 yrs now. She is 10yrs old. It’s been such a great experience for her. Natalia’s mission is not only to learn techniques of dance but the history of dance, anatomy , nutrition behind it as well as promoting to be an overall good person, disciplined, and leader. This year I’ve seen my daughter grown even more in her dancing. The studio feels like family especially seeing the passion Natalia and her mom Dawn have in teaching and love for all their dance kids including help from their assistant April who keeps all the parents informed in advance. Go watch a show first to see it on your own. Thats what we did when we watched the nutcracker for the 1st time and knew we made the right decision.

We’ve been part of Mallory Academy of Dance since my daughter was 4. She is now 9, and I truly can’t say enough good things. What started as a whim recommendation has become one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The studio has not only helped her grow into a strong, graceful dancer, but has also shaped her into a confident, hardworking, and resilient young girl. Through dance, she’s learned that she can do hard things, how to work through challenges with patience and discipline, and how to be part of a team. What sets Mallory Academy apart is how deeply they care about developing character, not just talent. They’ve taught her the importance of nutrition, how to care for her body, and the pride in being a woman. They foster a true sense of family, inclusion, and belonging, celebrating dancers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and abilities. From competitions to shows, my daughter loves every minute she spends at the studio, and we are so thankful to be part of a place that believes in lifting up every dancer, both on and off the stage.

Our daughters have been attending Mallory Academy of Dance for about 6 years. We love the size of the studio, professional quality of instruction and the atmosphere of encouragement and unity between the dancers. We feel our girls are receiving excellent instruction and can see them growing each year. I would recommend Mallory Academy to anyone looking for a new dance studio!

We Absolutely love Mallory Academy! The teachers are incredibly skilled and truly dedicated to helping and motivating every student. They work with all children, regardless of background or experience, and create such an inclusive and supportive endowment. We love participating in all the class dances and especially look forward to Nutcracker- it’s such a special tradition. A wonderful studio to be apart of, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my child’s growth and confidence!

• Price & value▲

Excellent instruction from instructors who value proper technique as well as performance qualities. Costumes are reasonably priced and appropriate for various age groups. Our kids have had great experiences overall with the competition team as well as in RAD examinations. Every business experiences growing pains, as we have witnessed over the years, and Mallory Academy has grown tremendously in their business practices and established itself as a community inclusive of various individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. Pricing is as expensive as any other dance studio but less expensive with regard to costumes. In addition, students are taught to respect themselves and others, the importance of sleep and nutrition, and to seek experiences that are challenging as well as rewarding. Bullying and other disruptive/potentially damaging behavior is strictly not tolerated, so you feel your children are safer since there is a policy in place to handle such behaviors. Parents are also encouraged to participate as Nutcracker performers, as students alongside their children, as prop and costume alterers/blingers/menders, backstage helpers, etc. Happy we found this village to help raise our dancers.

The instructors are good and do a great job, but the financial part of their business model is a bit problematic. The costs are high and unclear. For example, the performance cost breakdown isn't justified (as are the outfits for the performances of $60-$70, I dont remember, despite them being ordered on Amazon for under $20). The prices and costs are not communicated, and when I have initiated communication regarding clarity regarding costs, it isn't handled professionally. OVERALL, dance is expensive, and most dance students and parents know that, but this business seems to value profit-earning methods rather than treating customers fairly and being transparent regarding cost. A company can successfully generate profits while maintaining integrity, but when it prioritizes exploiting its customer base for short-term gains, it crosses ethical boundaries that I don't support.
