Customer Reviews
My daughter is starting on her 7th year at Miss Maria's School of Dance. I can't say enough positive things about this studio. There is a family friendly feel to the studio, but also a
professionalism that allows dancers to develop, improve and master their skills.
I never have to wonder if my daughter is in the appropriate skill level as the instructors take care to match students with class levels that challenge the student, but don't alienate or frustrate them. They care about the development of skills, techniques and self esteem and want all their students to flourish.
Miss Maria and her instructors are outstanding. They are truly devoted to the dancers and their families. Their knowledge of dance style, form and technique is top notch and they do more than just teach dance, they model compassion, strength, courage and determination. My daughter is not the only one benefiting from attending classes here; I am benefiting by being a part of the this remarkable community. Parents and care givers are just as amazing as the studio. It really is a one of a kind place. The studio even gives back to the community through a number of events throughout the year.
The friendships, confidence, physical and emotional strength my daughter has gained from this dance studio is priceless. I highly recommend this studio. It even offers adult yoga classes. What more could you ask for?

The Bates Dance Festival brings together an international community of choreographers, performers, educators & students in a cooperative community to study, perform & create new work.
We are so proud of you 💜
Help us give a warm welcome to another amazing dance teacher who will be joining our team this Fall: Miss Gretchen! Raised in western Iowa, Gretchen began her dance career in a small studio at the age of 8. Beginning her teaching career at the age of 16, she quickly became encompassed by her love of movement and education.
To continue her dance education, she moved out to Massachusetts to pursue her now received BFA in Dance and AS in Business from Dean College. During her time at Dean, Gretchen spent much of her time writing her now published book Looking Back to Push Forward: What Modern Dance Legends of the Past Have Taught Us. With the guidance and mentorship of Joanie Palladino, Gretchen writes about the importance and significance of our modern dance ancestors in the classroom today. Bringing light to the historical significance of movement in every dance space is a passion of Gretchen’s that she is excited to share with the dancers at Miss Maria’s School of Dance.
Meet our new faculty! Miss Jami graduated from our dance school in 2018 and now is back, working as a dance teacher! You can register for her Fall classes online now (2 classes have already closed out!):
Jami is a dancer from Belmont, MA and began her dance journey at the age of 2. She has studied and trained in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary and hip hop. Jami is an alumni of Miss Maria’s School of Dance and went on to further her dance education at Dean College. At Dean she received her BA in Dance and her AA is Psychology. Alongside her academics, Jami has performed in a wide variety of dance concerts, showcases and musical theatre productions, as well as danced with the contemporary dance team on campus at Dean. Her choreographic work has been adjudicated live by industry professionals such as James Kinney and Patrick Cook, and has also been selected to present to Dean faculty. Jami received an Artistic Excellence award from the Joan Phelps Palladino School of Dance upon the completion of her degrees.
While teaching, Jami combines her love of dance with her interest in psychology. She has closely trained under Luciano Aimar, head of the Boston Ballet School’s Children’s Program in creative movement and children’s ballet pedagogy. Jami hopes to continue to share her love for the art through both teaching and performance. @jamicathh
