the mdm story
Midwest Dance Mechanix was founded in 2010 by Jana & Ryan Owen. Our foundation is rooted in providing the highest quality dance instruction that dancers can take with them as they seek opportunities in the future... opportunities in our community, opportunities in college, and opportunities in the professional dance world.
Midwest Dance Mechanix began as a small, two-room studio in Valley Center, KS and moved to our current 4,400 square foot, three-room facility in north Wichita in 2013.
Even though we've experienced rapid growth over the last 7 years, our foundational training curriculum combined with our experienced and knowledgable staff have allowed our dancers to thrive in their training.
We believe in providing a strong background in a variety of dance styles to produce well-rounded dancers. Being versatile is important to a dancer as they reach the age to begin choosing how to use their dance training. Whether a dancer is interested in a classical ballet company, a highly-ranked collegiate music theatre program or a collegiate dance team, our program prepares dancers for a variety of career and collegiate paths.
As we look to the future of Midwest Dance Mechanix, we will continue to offer the highest quality dance instruction that emphasizes the importance of work ethic, respect, quality and dedication, not only from our students, but from our staff as well. We look forward to training the next generation of dancers, performers, artists and fine arts patrons.
