About MB Dance Project 
MB Dance Project began with one question: What if people felt free to express themselves in everyday life as if they were on a stage? We wholeheartedly believe that movement is powerful enough to bridge the gap between one’s unrealized potential and being one’s best self. Our dance classes leverage the openness and fluidity of social dance styles in a way that enables any mover–to jump right in with confidence and ease. No matter a mover’s level or ability, MBDP’s workshops aim to join the community and bring out the best in each individual.
