Moving Arts of Mt. Airy (MaMa)552

This sunny little studio is part of a small, but increasingly vibrant, commericial district in West Mt. Airy. Moving Arts of Mt. Airy, or MaMa, offers a wide variety of affordable dance and movement classes for all ages. Mama is known for the caliber of its teachers, who are award-winning and highly-trained.

For the younger set (up to age three), there are parent/child yoga, dance, and gymfoolery classes. Classes for older children (up to age 18) include the basics, like pre-ballet, creative movement, and modern dance, but MaMa's strength is offering classes that are hard to find anywhere else. These include fencing, capoeira, hip hop, belly dance, salsa, and nature yoga.

Participants may sign up for an entire session (offered year-round), but drop-ins are welcome in most classes. It is a good idea to call first, though.

The studio is also availalbe for birthday parties with the option of having a fencing, dance, capoeira, or yoga leader. In season, parties can also be held in the beautiful landscaped terrace.
