"For the love of movement and artistic expression..."
This studio is a no-glitz, non-competitive nurturing environment. Young dancers don't spend the whole year learning their "recital dance". They learn the various techniques of dance with different combinations each week. Attention to recital choreography is later in the year. The performance company does not compete,
but presents several shows a year which include the dancers' own choreography.
It's about the process, creativity, imagination, growth & building confidence.
Our adult classes are ongoing and drop-in.
(Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Contemporary, African, Latin, ChoreoMotion, Zumba...)
Our knowledgable and experienced teachers hold a loving and welcoming space for all.​
Our June 14th Recital was beautiful. We wish to thank
Annabelle Mei for doing the huge task of lighting design
while Joe Rep was out,
and thanks to Sierra Gitlin for runnning music for us all year!
