The amount of confidence both of my daughters have gained through dancing at Misty’s is incredible. It’s something you can’t really understand until you see it for yourself. It really is so much more than dance. The teachers are amazing role models, and the culture is far above anything I’ve experienced in other youth activities.

If I could give 10 stars I would, Misty’s has been the best dance studio for my girls. We have been dancing here for 3 years (this summer) & I have ZERO complaints. The studio is always so clean, teachers are engaged and professional, dances are age appropriate & fun. Communication is top notch and everything is always extremely timely regarding new sessions, recitals, or any news/changes. We love Misty’s.

My girls love Misty's! As a parent, I've always been impressed with the professionalism from every teacher. But I've been even more impressed with the care for the kids! Front desk, cleaning staff, office staff, teachers, helper teachers, and management all show love and care for each and every dancer! I also appreciate that they care what these girls are wearing and how they are dancing on stage. It will always be professional and up to high standards. I would definitely recommend Misty's to any parent looking for a very well run dance studio!

Mistys Dance Unlimited is a wonderful place🥰 I have three homeschool children in dance and each one have expanded their friends circle because of the dance community. They have learned many life lessons that they bring home and practice. The joy they get from dance is irreplaceable.

A quick shout out about Miss Greta. Her Thursday night modern class is really something special. She has provided a classroom full of passion, growth, encouragement and a place for her group to really bond. She is genuine and passionate and I just thought she deserved to be recognized. I will have my tissues ready for this number at recital next week, it's SO beautiful.💖

I just want to give a shout out to all of the teachers, staff and Misty W. Lown. During the first awards at a recent dance competition one of the judges gave MDU an award for "everything" which he explained as the visible joy and passion that our dancers have when they perform/compete. It was such a true statement, there were many greater dancers and competitors but so many dances from other studios seemed like work, whereas our dancers shine with joy when they dance, their passion and love of dance along with their confidence in their craft is visible and sets MDU apart. I was still thinking about his comments a few days later and just wanted to take a moment to thank all the amazing MDU teachers and staff that make dance a truly joyful thing for our dancers and highly recommend Misty’s for anyone looking for a dance family!

We love Misty’s Dance! Everything is top notch- from the teachers to the facility to the communication!

Miss Denise is a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly patient with young dancers and makes it so fun! My daughter was very nervous about beginning dance, and Miss Denise took her from crying in the hallway during the first week of class to leading her class onstage during recital!

Miss Chloe Jane does an amazing job making dance fun and getting to know her dancers! She is encouraging and always has a smile on her face!

Miss Katlyn is a very dedicated teacher who works to help her students learn the proper techniques while having fun. She is always kind and addresses each of her students by name. My daughter looks forward to her class!

I am sure that Julia would like to highlight and thank other instructors as well, but for me, Miss Larissa stands out. She has been the constant since Day 1, when we had absolutely no plans to spend the next several years driving back and forth to La Crosse several times a week, but Julia just wanted to try to audition for Alice in Wonderland. Her first role was a tree… But after the very first rehearsal she wanted to dance here, and have Miss Larissa as her teacher. She had never before wanted a strict teacher, but in Miss Larissa she found what she wanted and needed. It’s been five years (I think), and Julia is graduating with skills and confidence I don’t think she could have found anywhere else. I am sure Larissa will forever remain as one of the most influential people in her life.

I have been so impressed with Misty’s Dance Unlimited as they have navigated through this unprecedented time with COVID. The communication and professionalism has been so amazing!! My daughter has danced for many years, but this is her first year with MDU and she has loved every minute. They teach dance, but stress the importance of being a kind, hard working individual...they care about each student as a person, not just a dancer. My daughter has gained so much confidence and has found a real love for the art of dance.

We've been going to Misty's for years now, and they've never let us down. Even here amidst the COVID-19 situation, they have managed to keep everything running.
Groups and people in close proximity a problem? Take your classes as a group online and turn your home into a private studio. Had to cancel recital? Ok. We'll just hold an event, complete with red carpet treatment (and all health & safety precautions taken), to make our kids feel like rockstars. Feeling lonely having to stay at home? Well, we'll just arrange for everyone to have extra time online with our loveable Miss Sandy every week. Feeling stressed? Have a free yoga class in your living to calm yourself.
There's more, but I'm sure you're not ready to read a novel in the comments section. Seriously... thank you so much for all you do, MDU! We look forward to seeing you again!

Some companies create catchy tag lines because they sound good, rhyme well, or are memorable. MDU's - more than just great dance tag line speaks to the core of who they are. This studio's focus is on building character, creating confidence, and improving the mental & physical strength in the lives that they touch. I'm so thankful we found this studio and that my children are gaining life skills that will propel them into a successful adulthood.

MDU made moving so much easier on my daughter. Dancing is her “happy place” and MDU allows her the opportunity to do that in a setting that is second to none! The staff is great and you can tell they genuinely care about the dancers. When we moved, everyone recommended MDU to us and it is easily one of the best decisions we ever made for our daughter! There are not enough good things I can say about MDU.

During recital shows this weekend Misty W. Lown talked about the importance of “third places”- (she shared the attached article) spaces created to foster well-being of our communities, including our children; a place in addition to their home and school that children are safe, cared for, and are able to grow. Our daughter spends several days a week at Misty’s Dance Unlimited. In this “third place” our young woman is nurtured and challenged as a dancer, a student, a leader and a friend. She looks forward to going to the studio each day, skipping in with a smile on her face- she feels valued for who she is. As I reflect on this amazing recital weekend, I am grateful to to the teachers, staff, and families at MDU for providing and being a part of this amazing “third place” in our community. MDU is a shining example of the power of vision, perseverance, and an (ever growing) group to make positive, lasting change, we are proud to be part of this, thank you all.

Everyone sitting at the front desk was always helpful and greeting you with a smile. The teachers took the time to get to know my girls and make them feel welcome and alleviated their fears of joining a new studio. Couldn't have asked for a better year! Thank you!!

Mistys is great! The staff is amazing, my daughter looks forward to going, and always comes out in a great mood! My only issue with this place is that I pay monthly, obviously, for my child to dance there and YOU have to buy an admissions ticket to watch your child's dance/ progress that you have already paid for them to teach your child! I have never heard of a dance studio doing this and I honestly think it's pretty ridiculous. I pay quite a bit of money as it is for my 3 year old to dance there now you want me to pay to watch her? That's not ok with me. I understand other family memebers having to pay bit as a parent I already pay the tuition, they said it goes toward the older kids competitions, but there are other ways to get that money for those kids.

My daughter joined an amazing group of teachers, friends and mentors at Misty's 2 years ago! She looks forward to dance each night and had become a stronger more confident dancer. She is on their Performance Company and loves the relationships she has built with other kids her age, with the same passion and vision she has for dance. She has a 2nd family at the Studio; without Misty's Dance Unlimited, I don't think she would have found something she is so passionate about!

We have two daughters currently dancing at Misty's Dance Unlimited. Our oldest has danced there for 13 years and our youngest for 6 years. We love that this studio values character and modesty, along with excellence in dance. The teachers have encouraged and nurtured our girls in their love of dance, as well as encouraging all the dancers to be kind, respectful and positive in how they treat one another. Now our oldest is embarking on a new stage in life--pursuing her dream of being a professional ballerina. I cannot thank Misty and her studio enough for the huge role they have played in encouraging her along the way, as well as providing excellent teachers and performing opportunities. I highly recommend this studio for those who are truly looking for not just a great dance studio but for more than just great dancing!

At MDU my daughter can pursue her love of dance in a friendly, safe environment with top notch teachers.

That is the power of More Than Just Great Dancing!

When our oldest daughter turned 3 (she is now 19), we excitedly signed her up for dance class at our local Onalaska dance studio. That initial dance class sparked an interest, and that local studio (Misty's Dance Unlimited) became a second home for both of our daughters. Our younger daughter is 13, and some weeks she dances at the studio every day of the week! I have always appreciated that at MDU, character and kindness are just as important as dance skills. Dancers are surrounded by positive role models who care about them as people. We are so fortunate to have such a high caliber studio right in Onalaska!
