Stay hungry. Be humble. Get MAD!
Macrina Academy of Dance (MAD) was born in 2020 from the heart of Annemarie Macrina, the Owner and Artistic Director of MAD. She created MAD to provide a welcoming environment for children through the art of dance. At MAD, we believe that hard work and perseverance should be taught in a fun and nurturing atmosphere. We combine leading dance programs with a place of caring for the well being and growth of each child. Our goal is to teach kindness, courage, respect, and determination both on and off the stage. These values are the foundation on which MAD was created. Join us and become part of the MAD family!
