ABOUT MCDA
Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts offers a dance program that focuses on the unique artistic, technical, and creative development of each dancer. At MCDA we are dedicated to giving our students positive and healthy movement experiences through the art of dance. Since 1986 the Mountain Kids organization has offered a wide range of dance and movement classes for toddlers, kids, and teens. Our highly credentialed staff specializes in contemporary dance techniques and creative movement, and is one of only a few schools to offer a non-competitive, preprofessional dance company in the state. Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts is the place for family education in dance in Boulder County.
