Melissa Kelly Dance Academy (MKDA)

CAN WE TALK ABOUT OUR GIRL EMILY CARRIERE FOR A MINUTE??
🥰🩰🥰🩰
For the SECOND time this summer, Emily packed her bags, left our little city of Timmins and headed to the BIG CITY of Toronto to dance! She walked into the FRESH Dance Intensive without knowing a single person and that takes some serious courage!🥰🥰🥰
But our girl jumped right in!!!!!

Emily danced alongside some incredibly talented dancers, learned from amazing teachers and stepped completely outside her comfort zone. She came home with new friendships, unforgettable memories and an ❤️❤️experience she’ll always be grateful for.

Emily, we are SO proud of you for being brave, taking chances and saying YES to these incredible opportunities! Our girl is doing BIG things and she’s just getting started!!!! GET IT GIRLLLL

SCHOOL MAY BE BACK IN SESSION….

BUT NOBODY SAID SUMMER WAS OVER!!! 😎😎☀️☀️
And before we fully switch into SEASON 22 mode, we need to talk about the AMAZING summer we just had at MKDA! ⛱️🤸🏻‍♀️🪩🩰

This was only our SECOND year offering the MKDA Summer Dance Intensive and you guys SHOWED UP! We welcomed our own MKDA dancers AND dancers from other studios in our community, and we absolutely LOVED!!! It was FOUR busy weeks, 🥰🪩🥰

Miss Alexa, Mr. Carter and Miss Kyrsten kept these dancers MOVING!!!
They trained, learned, worked hard, tried new things, made new friends and created some great summer memories all well they were having FUN 

A HUGE thank-you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
