#mwdadancefamily

To all of our beautiful, loving, strong mamas out there...we want to take a moment to let you know were thinking of you and celebrating you this Mothers Day! Thank you for all that you do and even more importantly - for who you are! We love you so much #mwdadancefamily

Were doing a little planning for the week ahead of classes and thinking Gene Nelsons tap dance scene from the film Tea for Two (1950) has the perfect inspiration for our at-home classes. Who says you cant tap dance at home? #mwdadancefamily #wowthough

Wed like to take this moment to say congratulations and thank you to our #mwdadancefamily Take a bow, take a curtesy...dance family, you have been nothing short of amazing during these past few weeks. Dancers and Parents, we are so proud of how you have all shown up with resilience and determination in our community...and the overflowing positivity you have shared with us means more than you know. Happy International Dance Day everyone #mwdadancefamily

#tbt to when we would take dance photos on our world travels. We cant wait till we get to arabesque our hearts out all over the globe again #mwdadancefamily

If you knew how many people were cheering you on right now, would you still hold yourself back? This is so true. Not everything might come easily and you will have to work hard and that doesnt mean you should give up...it means you keep working at it because the break through will come #truthbomb for #motivationmonday #mwdadancefamily

Some #fridayfunnies to make us all laugh at the end of the week #mwdadancefamily #weareinthistogether

Yes, there are things/situations in life that we just dont have control of. However, I can tell you that there ARE two things in life that we are in control of, our A T T I T U D E and our E F F O R T. And both can help us create change for the better. We have to share this #truthbomb that we were tagged in from @puresensehealth We couldnt agree more #mwdadancefamily

Happy Easter Everyone!

Mid-week mantra...and plus the fact that this exactly true for our #mwdadancefamily this week

We believe that one of the beautiful byproducts of this global pandemic, is the offering of introspect into the value of our MWDA Dance Family. Our dancers mental health is number one right now and we are proud to know that through the outlet of our dance classes and community, this is going to be a pivotal necessity for them. It is not only a physical outlet, but also a mental, emotional and psychological safe holding. We cant wait to see all of your smiles starting next week! #mwdadancefamily

A message worth remembering today Remember we can bloom and grow wherever we are planted...and there are lots of reasons to smile today! Happy first day of Spring MWDA Dance Family

St. Patricks Day is a little different for all of us this year, but there is still so much for us to be grateful for during this time. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone #mwdadancefamily #albertastrong
