    About Us

    A Mission of Movement

    M. Rose Artistry (formerly the Marie K. Jennison School of Dance) is a nurturing studio that values tradition, family, and the celebration of individuality. The emphasis on joy, love, and respect creates a positive and supportive environment for the students, which can greatly contribute to their growth and development as dancers and as individuals.

    By instilling confidence, kindness, and respect in our dancers, M. Rose Artistry not only helps them improve their dance skills but also fosters important life skills that can benefit them in various aspects of their lives. Confidence allows students to believe in themselves and their abilities, which can lead to greater achievements both on and off the dance floor. Kindness helps build strong relationships and promotes a sense of community within the studio. Respect teaches students to value each other's differences and treat others with consideration and empathy.

    Having a studio that prioritizes these values can positively impact the students' overall well-being, fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth. Dance can be a powerful medium for self-expression, and when combined with a supportive and encouraging environment like M. Rose Artistry, students are likely to thrive and find joy in their artistic journey.

    M. Rose Artistry goes beyond teaching dance techniques, and also focuses on nurturing the emotional and social growth of our students. This approach not only helps produce skilled dancers but also cultivates compassionate and well-rounded individuals who are prepared to face the world with confidence and grace.

    M. Rose Artistry Class Descriptions

    M. Rose Artistry: Truly something for everyone

    • Dancers are placed into classes based on the grade they are in. Most of our classes are not separated by skill level as we really appreciate the social/emotional development of the dancers and would like to see them creating connections with others on the same level. Our dancers grow and build skills together (and eventually graduate together) as a team and, over our 80+ years of experience, we find a genuine benefit to this method. 
    • If your dancer stayed back in school you have the option to place them with the grade they are currently in or the grade they would be in by age. Please just communicate with us.
    • Dancers have the option to choose a class a grade level below theirs if it is a preferred spot. Again, please just communicate.  
    • Dancers will not be placed in a class above their grade level.
