Our goal is to train our dancers in a structured and fun atmosphere. Dancers that study under RMSD are provided with the background they will need to succeed in the performing arts. RMSD students gain the confidence needed to succeed in dance, musical theater, poms, cheerleading and other stage productions.

THE WORD ON THE STREET

Some Kind Words From Our Customers

“So happy I found RMSD!”

“My favorite part of the studio is the performance troupe – it’s a cooperative performance troupe focused on excellence individually and as a group, as opposed to girls competing against each other.”

Jennifer H

“Give it a try, you won’t regret it”

“The teachers at RMSD strive to create a positive, disciplined, fun classroom in which students receive excellent training and mentorship from passionate and educated dance instructors. My daughter’s confidence has increased dramatically over the 7 years she has attended RMSD.”

“The Rebecca McCarthy School of Dance is more than just a dance studio, it’s a safe haven and second home to many dancers. It’s a place where girls are able to come together and dance because they LOVE to.”

“I made friends that will last a lifetime”

“RMSD instructors know how to relate to dancers ranging from 2 year olds to seniors in high school while making classes such a fun and safe environment. I owe so much to this studio for molding me into the woman I am today on the dance floor and in the real world.”
