Boutique dance studio
Sun drenched studio, with beautiful padded wood floors, full length mirrors, and lighting equipment- perfect for your next video submission, virtual class, or rehearsal.
Classical dance meets creative expression
Dance allows students to gain greater control of both their body and mind, by connecting the two through discipline and movement. Students who study dance go on to have a greater appreciation for all arts in general, a larger respect for their bodies, and a new lense of beauty through which to view their surrounding world.
