We are MSAD-SCB where precision, passion, and performance unite to create an extraordinary dance experience for every age and stage of development. For more than 20 years, we have provided professional coaching and expert guidance, beginning with our youngest dancers as they discover their love of movement and continuing through our pre-professional artists pursuing careers in the dance industry. From joyful first steps in our Children’s Division to rigorous training for aspiring professionals, we nurture confidence, discipline, and artistry in every student. Join us and become part of our legacy as we continue to cultivate both our dancers and the art of dance with dedication and excellence.
Our students, like true artists, perform in full-length ballets, fairy tales, and showcase productions. This year, we are bringing back the beloved full-length ballet Cinderella to the Oconomowoc Arts Center.
If your child dreams of a world shaped by beauty, music, and harmony, we warmly invite you to experience a complimentary trial lesson and begin their journey into the art of classical ballet.

“Transformative”
“Our daughter, Denali, started at MainStage Academy of Dance (MSAD) as a shy girl with a dream of auditioning for the Nutcracker. Under the incredible guidance of Eddy Bray, she came to life. Beginning with recreational classes, she soon advanced to the academy and participated in summer intensives. Ballet has become her passion, and her love for MainStage, her friends, and Mr. Eddy continues to grow.
The transformative skills she has gained have helped her come out of her shell in ways we could have never imagined. What truly sets MainStage apart is that it offers more than just dance classes—Denali is part of real ballet productions. She’s even had the extraordinary opportunity to perform alongside professional ballerinas who were once students of Mr. Eddy themselves.
The family atmosphere at MSAD is unmatched. Everyone supports one another, and it’s clear that each dancer’s success is celebrated by all. We are so grateful to be part of this incredible community, and we can’t wait to see where Denali’s ballet journey takes her next”.

“Comprehensive”
“Ballet study with MainStage Academy is sophisticated and comprehensive education for the whole child. With every class and rehearsal, Amory receives a notable full spectrum boost to her physical, cognitive, social, and artistic development. It is a joy to behold the incredible level of accomplishment with the progressive mastery of each new exercise, role, and collaborative performance.
Dancers display natural and enthusiastic inspiration in their connection with their director, assistant instuctors, and each other, as well as their home audience as they offer up their work in ambitious, absolutely beautiful shows. Families are essential in making the parent-supported company greater than the sum of its parts. MainStage is a community treasure.”
