Mitsi Dancing School

I’ve danced at Mitsi’s for ~13 years, spending almost all my weekends and school nights here. Naturally, I met some of my best friends here. Even though it is a «Chinese» dance school, there are other genres, such as ballet, modern (MY FAVORITE! Shoutout to Shizu!), jazz, tap, and of course Chinese! The teachers are great and have various dance backgrounds.
I love the new location, although I’ve never taken a class there. I can definitely say the studios are nicer than the previous location’s. It’s also really close to Banana Leaf, Juice Box, etc. Once I move back to Houston, I’m planning on coming back to take classes.

I’ve been dancing at Mitsi’s for over 10 years and I have to say, this is an amazing dance school. The teachers are so helpful and well trained, and they make sure every student receives equal attention. I remember when I first started dance at 4 years old, I was a shy little girl who wouldn’t talk to anyone, wouldn’t smile during performances. But I have grown so much since then and throughout my 10 years that I have been there, I have made wonderful life long friends and learned about discipline, confidence, and above all, the art of dance.
Mitsi Dancing School offers many different styles of dance including ballet, chinese, modern, and more. These different styles have helped me improve my technique and become a more versatile dancer. We are also the only Chinese dance school in Houston to produce full-​length ballets at our annual recitals. In addition to that, we also get opportunities to perform with professional award-​winning dancers from China.
Mitsi Dancing School is like a second home to me and I’m so glad that I started dancing here. This is an amazing school and your kids will definitely love it here!

LOVE LOVE LOVE… Love the school. Love the teachers. Love all the memories I shared here.
I’ll fully disclaim my bias — I grew up in this dance school. However, being biased doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
Mitsi Shen is one amazing woman and dance instructor. She’s dedicated decades to passing on her passion and technique in dance (ballet and Chinese dance). She hires very well trained teachers and shows extreme professionalism and patience to groom each student that has a heart to learn. It was like a family there. I made life long friends in my 13 years at the dance school and went from being a fidgeting tomboy to loving the art of dance.
To the mom concerned with repetition, I’d say that dance training (similar to other trainings) involves a lot of repetition. Your princess might be doing chases and plies until she’s 5 (and thereafter I’m sure). But she will improve each year and eventually she’ll have strong muscles from the repetitions and move on to leaps and turns. Ballet is a great foundation for other styles!
You can’t go wrong sending your kids here! …And it is my humble opinion that all little girls should dance! =D
