The goal of Modern Rhythms Dance Academy is to create the ultimate dance experience. Our positive environment will build self-confidence while providing superior dance training unparalleled in the area. Co-directors Amanda & Carrie Wasserman have conceived a studio based on 20 years of teaching, competing, and nurturing of young talent.
They have developed a fresh, new concept of your typical dance studio to provide dance education for dancers in our competitive and recreational divisions. They invite you to come to share in their vision; a place for dancers to flourish as artists and people. Our friendly, professional, and award-winning staff look forward to having you grow with us.

At Modern Rhythms Dance Academy, we are one big family, a family that has a spectacular new home! Centrally located in Bethpage Long Island, our brand new, state-of-the-art dance studio has it all. Bright lights and bold colors adorn our three spacious air-conditioned rooms. Each is equipped with exclusive, custom-made Marley dance floors, which provide the utmost safety for your child.
This division of the Modern Rhythms Dance Company is designed for the more "serious" dance student. Dance Company members are selected by audition process. Our professional, experienced staff will train your dancer, technically through ballet and technique classes, and performance-wise, through choreography.
Our "Twinkle Toes" program is 45 minutes long, specially designed for our youngest dancers at Modern Rhythms Dance Academy. This class provides children ages 21/2 to 3 an introduction to dance and movement. Our children explore very basic ballet steps while also discovering music and rhythm and how the body relates to its surrounding space.

We have been with Modern Rhythms for 4 years. You can see the improvement month by month. The costumes are amazing and the choreography is beautiful. Last year my daughter went through a very difficult time and the owners and instructors went above and beyond to help her. The love and support we received was so touching. They REALLY CARE about their students.

My daughter Lauren started dancing at Modern Rhythms when she was 6. Her love for dance has been nurtured and enhanced by the amazing staff and friends she has made. We truly cherish the experience, and beautiful friendships she/we have made along this journey. Whether your child is a recreational or competition dancer- you will find a home at MRDA.

I danced at Modern Rhythms since it opened, and was there for 5 years before I graduated. The studio and all of the teachers and dancers there were like my second family. I have known Carrie and Amanda since I was about five years old and they are two of the greatest people I know and I am so grateful to have them in my life. Each choreographer is so talented and works to showcase each individual dancer's strengths whether they were part of the competition teams or not. I would not have wanted to spend my last five years of competitive dance anywhere but Modern Rhythms and would do anything to

Being a part of this wonderful dance school means you are part of a family. Your daughter will form friendships that will last a lifetime and if you are lucky enough so will you. My daughter not only has motivators, teachers, life coaches, but also constructive critique. Dance is about loosing yourself in the moment you perform on that stage whether it is at a recital or at a competition. Dance is not about being the best, but about trying your best. Dance is about having fun and hearing the music through your body and letting everyone see that in your dance. Dance is not about winning, it is about

When I sit back and think about my dance studio, I am proud to call Modern Rhythms Dance Academy my second home. Not only is this a dance studio, it is a place to me that provides safety for me, my sister, my family, and my dance sisters. When I look back at recital tapes from my first year to the recital tape just from my last year, it is amazing to me how far I have grown not only as a dancer, but as a person. I always rave to my friends how amazing my dance studio is and how close everyone is, to the point where everyone is probably sick of how much I talk about it. When I go to dance class

This dance studio truly showed me the true meaning of dance and creativity. I have made some of my closest friendships here, a place i like to come to when i am having a bad day, it really lifts my spirits. They also challenge my abilities, so i have the opportunity to become a stronger dancer. All amongst a loving and caring environment. I feel confident and honored to be part of the mrda dance family❤

Not only has my daughter been dancing at this dance school for the past 6 years, the owners of this dance studio taught her for 5 years before then. Both of my daughters came to this studio because of how wonderful these owners are. Not only are they professional and fair, they are kind and positive. When your child spends countless hours a week in dance, and still looks forward to it every day, you know they are doing something right! The beautiful friendships that are formed here are a result of the positive atmosphere that is fostered here. Carrie and Amanda have taught my girls so much more
