Stay strong and active with our virtual drop-in classes!
We’ve been trying to find ways to better support our dance community and contribute to the positive health and well-being of our dancers and families during these challenging times. Therefore, we’ve made a few changes to our programming to offer virtual drop-in classes to our dancers who want to keep dancing with us but can’t commit to the entire season. You can choose to join a Hip Hop, Fitness or Creative Movement online class. Just pick the one you like the most or try each one of them to learn different styles and moves!

It’s Time to Dance with Our Performance Crew!
Our last season looked a little different for everyone, especially for our Performance Crew that didn’t get to “perform” on a stage. But nothing stopped this amazing crew from dancing together.

Watch the full choreography on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/BwMCMwE8o4M Let’s give a big shout out to our Performance Crew dancers! More information about our 2020-2021 Performance Crew classes coming soon! Stay [...]

On her first day, Eliora welcomed two new dancers into the studio as if she had been part of our community the whole time, while also being open and eager to learn from others. She fit seamlessly into the team, and brought positive energy and new ideas to the group. Although Eliora [...]
