We looked at a lot of dance studios locally. MFA stood out among so many others. I didnt feel like another customer but like I joined a family. Dance, adult fitness, cheerleading, acrobatics, they have it all with amazing teachers and staff. Signed my daughter up for cheer initially. Ended up with cheer, ballet, acro and adult fitness for myself. The options and offerings are endless and I would happily recommend them to anyone I know. Pricing is excellent and more than fair. Dont let locust grove deceive you, its a 15 minute drive from Harrison Crossing and when you factor in Fredericksburg
