Murrieta Dance Project

Absolutely LOVE MDP! This is our second year at the studio and I am truly amazed at the growth I have seen in my children, especially my older daughter. She has always been on the shy side but thanks to the amazing staff and dancers at the studio, she has found her place and has really come out of her shell. The amount of talent walking through the halls is insane and it is a true reflection of the instructors, their passion for the art, their attention to detail and the love they have for their students. Every move has a purpose, every critique is for a reason and every «job well done» is earned and sincere. I love watching my girls dance probably as much as they love doing it and I am grateful there are so many classes offered for their young ages. Erin and her staff run a tight ship which is awesome in my opinion and is teaching my girls to be prompt, responsible, and professional at such a young age. I can honestly say I know my children matter to their instructors and they want to see them grow and develop into strong dancers. They may be little but they matter just as much as anyone else. I can’t say enough good things about MDP!

Joining a company dance team is a huge commitment for a family, but after 5 years at Murrieta Dance Project, we would do it all again! Every time I walk through the door, I know my 10 year old daughter is getting the highest level of instruction, discipline, and motivation from the wonderful owner (Erin Babbs) and her incredible teachers! Dancers start at many different levels, but at MDP, they are inspired and guided to believe in their own abilities and talents. As a parent, I am certain that MDP’s dance curriculum and design build an intrinsic capability for young dancers to soar! It is the goal of every instructor to see each dancer reach personal bests, and I am blown away when I see the level of professionalism and commitment at such young ages. At MDP, dancers are well-​rounded and encouraged to take all levels of dance, opening up many opportunities for industry and pre-​professional dancers. If you are looking for lifelong confidence, beautiful friendships, and experiences that go beyond learning dance steps, you will find it at Murrieta Dance Project. There isn’t a better studio in the area.

My daughter has been dancing with MDP for 2 years and training at MDP is wonderful and she has improved tremendously! We are very pleased with the staff and the studio. We are both so proud to be a part of the MDP family.

We are beyond grateful that we found Murrieta Dance Project over two years ago and they welcomed us with open arms. My daughter is now loving dance and learning from the best! They offer amazing choreography, while focusing on proper technique and the development of each dancer. It’s more than just a dance class at MDP!!!

My daughter has been with MDP competing for 4 years now. She used to compete at a different local studio for years before she had had enough of their belittling and demeaning of her. She was just another number there that never learned the true art of dance. Within her first month at MDP, she improved leaps and bounds (no pun intended). She has flourished as dancer in the four short years she’s been there. The instructors are top notch, some of the best in the industry. The genuine friendships she has formed will always have a huge impact on her as well. MDP is by far, the best dance studio in So Cal. If your child is serious about learning the art of dance the proper way, MDP is the place to be.

Murrieta Dance Project is the best decision we have made as a family. Both my daughters have improved tremendously. Not only is the dancing unique and extraordinary, but my girls have the opportunity to be around the most wonderful role models. Every class my daughters take at MDP… a positive lesson is learned. The technique, performance, choreography is top and professionalism is amazing! We look forward to the future with MDP! I highly recommend you come and experience what it is to be part of Murrieta Dance Project!

My daughter is a new student to Murrieta Dance Project. We absolutely love everything about this incredible studio! The instructors are qualified and educated professionals that care deeply for their students. They are serious about training and pushing all students to their full potential. The owner, Erin Babbs, is dedicated to her staff, students and studio. She works tirelessly and her efforts are seen in every aspect of the studio. My daughter has grown in her confidence, technique and love of dance like never before in the short time she has been here. We are so grateful she is part of such an awesome studio and developing more than ever in her dance instruction. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for serious, professional dance instruction for their child. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment we walked through the doors at MDP the love and passion for dance was evident! They welcomed by daughter with open arms and have helped her grow and mature into not only a great dancer but a confident young girl! I am so impressed with all aspects of this studio. the teachers are top notch, the front office staff is warm and welcoming, and the owner Ms. Erin truly loves every dancer as her own child. I could not imagine dancing anywhere else… we have found our «forever home». We love MDP!

My experience with MDP has been nothing short of AMAZING! My daughter is 11 and has danced with this studio for 3 years. We have found that her dancing has improved and her love for dance has increased by the teachers! We are not what you would call the best dancer but in our expirence she is treated the same as every other dancer and given the same opportunities! I personally have dealt with Erin Babbs (the owner) and have had great conversation with her about the well being of my daughter! Its nice not to be another fish in a very big pond and know she has the attention and concern of those she admires! This is a studio of love, friendship, and great instruction. We love MDP and as long as permitted we will stay with this studio :):):)

My daughter has been at MDP (on their company team) for the last four years. Before that, she danced at another studio in Temecula where she was nothing but a number and they placed no importance on technique. Once we made the switch, my daughter improved immensely, gained a new sense of self esteem and became part of a loving village where the instructors, staff and parents truly care. My son also started dancing at MDP last year on their all boys hip hop team and he is having a blast! There’s nothing better than seeing your kids happy and thriving in a fun and loving environment. We love everyone at MDP and will always consider it our home.

Murrieta Dance Project is a very professional dance studio. My son has been taking classes here since he was 4 and loves it. They have the most talented instructors that teach with passion and you can tell they love what they do and care about their students. I am amazed at how much my son who is now 7 has learned in the few years he has been at this studio. This is his second year on the Company Team and we both love the camaraderie between the parents and his team members. MDP is a family that we are proud to be a part of.

My 3 daughters commute to MDP for classes all the way from Yucaipa. Why? Because the level of training at MDP cannot be beat! This is simply the best studio! Every single teacher is committed to training their students to achieve their potential whether they are a beginner or advanced dancer! It is apparent their hearts are in it! Not to mention they are so good at what they do! The owner Erin Babbs spends so much time with all things concerning the studio to ensure it is ran efficiently! Her and the entire staff’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the studio as a whole! We are so happy we are able to be a part of the MDP family!

MDP is an outstanding and award-​winning studio. My twin 13 year old sons are very proud to dance there and love everything about the studio. The instructors are caring, professional, and encourage the kids to be their best. I wish I had the space to include all the excellent dance instructors but I’d like to single out Marco Cruz and Jacobie. These two great hip hop instructors are roll models for my sons and every young adult taking classes. Thank you! Keep up the great work. Thank you Erin.

MDP is an amazing studio. My daughter started there a little over a year ago and from day one the instructors and students made her feel welcome. Erin and her staff of instructors go above and beyond to produce amazing dancers. I can’t believe how much my daughter’s technique has improved in one short year. My daughter is very lucky to attend such a top notch studio. I would recommend MDP to anyone that wants to learn from the best.

My daughter is 14 and joined the Murrieta Dance Project studio in August of 2015 after attending their summer camp. She has danced since she was 3, and she had been on a dance competition team since age 7. She fell in LOVE with the dance teachers and the studio. She auditioned and was welcomed to MDP’s Company Team. The other children have welcomed her to the studio with open arms. She loves MDP and it’s staff. Erin and Shaun, the owners, are easy to work with and truly love their studio and the dancers. Thank you for welcoming Peyton, and thank you for helping her develop!

Where do we begin. We absolutely LOVE all things Murrieta Dance Project! From the moment you walk in you are amazed by the beauty of the facility. It is large, their are 6 dance rooms, a café with healthy meal options for your children, several break rooms and so much more. But the best thing about MDP is the dance instruction and the dance instructors. Every one of the dance instructors is fully educated and motivated to help your child grow and develop as an athlete, dancer, performer and as a person! Personally, I have seen tremendous growth in my daughters dancing in just a matter of months. Each instructor brings a different dynamic to MDP and each of their individual teaching styles creates a perfect balance. The talent that lies within the walls of MDP from dancers to instructors is phenomenal!
This is a very serious studio but if good quality dance instruction is what you are looking for, this is the studio you want to attend. The studio does require that the kids conduct themselves professionally in the classroom so that all students are able to receive the best training possible, follow proper dress code, and be on time. Be prepared to work hard! This studio does offer a recreational/​non competitive program where kids can just train and learn to love the art as well as an amazing competitive program. We personally have been to another local studio and have been a part of their competitive program and MDP by far has well exceeded our expectations. Our decision to join the MDP family was the best decision and we couldn’t be more grateful to owner Erin Babbs and the entire MDP staff for all that they do. Thanks for loving our kids and continuing to help them grow!

Ah-​mazing!!! We are so excited to have joined Murrieta Dance Project over the last year. The level of talent in this studio is beyond words. From the moment we stepped into the studio, the staff, management and students were kind, helpful, and loving. The studio is beyond professional, not only in their dance instruction, but in their molding of young talent to be the best dancers. respectable athletes and competitors. The dance instructors are each so talented. The choreography produced by these talented instructors (Erin Babbs, Jules Chavarria, Marco Cruz, Orialis Ashley, Susan Barnett, Cory Bufin, Will Johnston and Rachel Walsh to name just a few) is so fantastic I feel like I am watching a Broadway show or at an episode of SYTYCD. Watching the seniors that have been with MDP for several years shows what is possible by being a part of their dance family. They inspire my daughter and the other students with each and every class.
But don’t be misled, this is a serious studio, for serious dancers and mature parents. Rules for attendance, conduct, and attire are clearly stated in writing before you make any commitments (and really, shouldn’t all good studios be this way?) No one wants to pay for bad dance instructions and distractions from students running around the hallways while parents are MIA. MPD has provided exceptional technique instruction and a positive, supportive, family environment for my daughter to grow. I cannot wait to see where MDP can take us! #MDPSTRONG

My daughter started at MDP this past summer as we had moved from Oregon to California. I cannot believe the growth I have seen in my daughter, both as a person and a dancer, in the past 8 months! The dance teachers are top notch! Erin Babbs is incredible at keeping it all professional and running smoothly. Bey and Deanna (at the front desk) are always very helpful with my MANY questions as a new parent at this studio. I loved the sleepover for the girls to bond before competition and I also like the secret pals. My daughter feels very much a part of MDP. I wouldn’t have her dance anywhere else! Thanks MDP!

Horrible customer service. Management is unprofessional and rude. My granddaughter was taking several dance classes which are not cheap. She was late for a rehearsal and was banned from performing in her next solo. Of course there are rules, but the way in which management handled this was very childlike and immature. Obviously we will not return.

We are new to the MDP family and coming from a not so healthy environment from the previous dance studio in Wildomar, this has been a breath of fresh air! My daughters are beyond excited to be apart of the MDP family, as well as I’am. They took time to evaluate each of my daughters as to place them just right in each level/​class. They are extremely professional and nice! Highly recommend this dance studio.
