THE MAINE DANCE ACADEMY
The Maine Dance Academy, located in Caribou, Maine, first opened in August
1994 under the direction of Colleen E. DuPlissie. It has served the Northern
Maine area for the past 17 years, teaching students from age 2 through adult,
and students from as far as Fort Kent and Mars Hill.  The Academy has 4
instructors and 6 assistant instructors. Students at TMDA are instructed in
jazz, tap, lyrical ballet, hip-hop, highland, Celtic soft shoe, tap, and theatrical
jazz.  All dancers are placed according to talent level.  Our dance year runs
from September to May.  

In addition to our annual dance recital, held at the Caribou Performing Arts
Center, our dancers perform at various Christmas performances, local area
pageants, and other fund-raisers.  Our Academy has developed a strong
reputation, and several of our students have furthered their dance careers at
the collegiate level and beyond.

Our goals are not only to teach children dance, but to help each child maximize
their physical, mental, and social development resulting from well organized
dance programs with highly qualified, certified instructors.

Our studio is located at 15 Sweden Street, Suite 3 in Caribou, Maine, our
studio phone number is 207-498-4027; the annual dance recital is held at the
Caribou Performing Arts Center, adjacent to Caribou High School.  We hope we
see you soon!
