Madres Studio

Madres Studio, located in Oak Cliff on W Kiest Boulevard, is a training ground for dancers and performers of all ages. The studio offers vibrant dance classes ranging from early childhood through adulthood, with programmes designed for different commitment levels. Their mission is to make dance welcoming and accessible to everyone while emphasising solid technique and artistic growth.

The studio runs three main programmes. Madre's Movers welcomes dancers ages 6 to adult who are exploring, growing, and expressing themselves through dance—whether just starting out or expanding existing skills. Classes include ballet, jazz, hip hop, acting and Latin Line Dance (Ritmo Lines), offered in a supportive and energetic environment. The Dance Theatre Program is built for dedicated dancers ages 6 to adult pursuing advanced training and considering a future in performance, with a pre-professional focus on technique and artistry in ballet, jazz, modern, and acting. Madre's Minis invites dancers ages 2 to 5 to explore movement through playful classes in ballet, tap, and creative expression.

The 2025/2026 quarterly schedule (August 25–November 1st) shows classes throughout the week. Morning classes include Ballet/Tap for Madre's Minis (ages 2–5) on Thursday at 9:00–9:45 AM and 10:00–10:45 AM. Afternoon and evening classes span Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acting, Modern, Musical Theatre, and Ritmo Lines (Latin Line Dancing) across multiple age groups and levels, from beginner through advanced. The Ritmo Adult class on Monday evenings (7:15–8:15 PM) welcomes ages 18+ at open level. Saturday includes performance rehearsal and private coaching. All classes are led by certified dance instructors focused on helping each student build confidence, improve technique, and reach their potential.

Beyond group classes, Madres Studio offers private lessons (one-on-one and private for two), custom choreography, workshops, and corporate performances. The studio also functions as an events venue, available for booking. First-time students can register for a free trial class by contacting the studio by phone or email. The studio is owned by Natalia Zea and operates with bilingual support (Se Habla Español).

First-time visitors should check the current schedule or contact the studio before attending. Ask whether the class requires advance registration, whether a partner is needed, and what shoes or clothing are recommended.

Classes are led by certified dance instructors focused on building confidence, improving technique, and helping each student reach their potential. One instructor, Ashley, is highlighted in reviews for her ability to teach non-dancers and create custom choreography for special events.

Madre's Movers welcomes dancers at any level, and instructors make non-dancers feel comfortable and work at their pace.
