MEET MS. JALÉNA!
Please welcome our newest Front Desk Staff Team Member! Jaléna was a student here when she was younger, and we are thrilled to have her back at MKS!
When asked about what she liked about working at MKS and some fun facts about her, here's what she had to say...
"I like working at MKS because I have always loved to dance myself, but have found it hard to find a studio that encouraged Christian and family friendly values. Nothing compares to the atmosphere at MKS! All the staff and students and families are so kind and encouraging, and I love that I don’t have to worry about anything going against my morals, and I can proudly support everything MKS stands for.
When I’m not working, I like to sing, write, dance, play my guitar, act, read, and spend time with my family and friends. I'm also busy planning my wedding for next December!"

Social Media and the Dance World
Social media. It’s infiltrated every part of our life — our relationships, travel, work, news, school and entertainment. Technically, social media includes any website or application that enables users to create and share content within a social network. Take a moment to think about how many times you utilize social media per day. That’s not only Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter and Snapchat but also Yelp, blogs, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit and more. And especially in the past year and change, our lives – and the social media we use in it – have completely flipped upside down. During periods of quarantine and being apart, social media has allowed us to reconnect with friends of the past and make new ones. When companies’ seasons were canceled, technology and social media allowed them to still have a presence.
But is this all good? Do we rely on social media too much, or does too much time on our devices have an adverse effect on our mental health? There are positive and negative effects of social media on our society at large, but how does it affect the dance world in particular? Let’s take a closer look.
