Who we are
MarKey Dance Studio (previously known as Estyre Brindle Dance Theater EBDT) has been involved in the west side of St Paul for over 45 years and I strive to keep the neighborhood based feeling going into the future!
I truly believe this studio space has an energy that is special. I have danced in this building for the last 40 years and hope I can bring the happiness I feel when I am here to the next generation.
We offer weekly classes so that dancers can enjoy all the things- school activities, family time and being a kid. Our studio is a safe and welcoming space that helps learn self confidence, movement and being part of a group. Life is hard enough. Lets have some fun!
I promise to care for each dancer that comes to our studio and support their growth.
Remember to point your toes,
