The Monona Academy of Dance offers its students unmatched excellence in dance education at all ability, interest, and age levels. Classes offered include Pre Ballet (3 years and up), Classical Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap, as well as the competition group "MAD City Dancers." Established under the guidance of Jo Jean Retrum and Jean Adams, the school expands its student's cultural education, and emotional, artistic and physical development through the art of dance. Our teachers come from premier dance schools, companies, and colleges. We feel that there is more to be taught in a dance class than just steps. Our teachers are highly educated in many technique styles of ballet, jazz, modern, and tap, as well as injury prevention, correct body and foot alignment, dance history, and choreography. It is a truly holistic approach to dance.

In order to better serve the community, Monona Academy has five locations in and around the Madison area. Locations include our main office in Monona, and branches in Fitchburg, Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove, and Monroe.At our Monona and Fitchburg locations, you will find La Boutique, where you can purchase any dancewear items you may need (including shoes, leotards, tights, accessories, etc.). Our store is run by an intelligent staff of dancers who are well rehearsed in the needs of a dancer.
