🧡 Why You'll Love Out Innerspace
👉️Strange, Unforgettable Characters

A rhinoceros, a skeleton, a matador, a cockroach, and… oil?! "Rhino"’s characters might seem wildly unrelated, yet together they make one of the most imaginative casts you’ll encounter on stage. Each stands at a crossroads and grapples with existential questions of survival, purpose, and reinvention. As the characters dance between absurdity and vulnerability, their shared journey invites audiences to reflect on these themes, perhaps recognizing a little of themselves in these eccentric, yet unmistakably human, figures.

🎟 Join us for one night only on October 24 at the McPherson Playhouse. Tickets from $35.

~ What an amazing start to the year! ~

We’ve loved welcoming familiar faces back into the studio and meeting new students as they join our dance community.

There’s something so special about sharing this space, reconnecting, and dancing with a group.

Dance is such an important way to show up for yourself, to move, to connect, to challenge yourself, and to feel free.

Now we want to hear from you! What have you been enjoying so far this year?

I’ll start… our amazing office staff! So grateful for all they do.

Your turn! What’s been a highlight of your year so far? Drop it in the comments below! 👇

~ Meet the humans who help make Raino Dance happen! ~

From answering questions and helping with registration to making sure everyone gets where they need to be, these are some of the friendly faces you’ll see around the studio throughout the season.

Meet Caro !

Hi! I’m Caro, short for Carolina, and I’ve been dancing ever since I was little. Over the years, I’ve experienced many different styles of dance, and although I love them all, contemporary has always had my heart.

Through dance, I’m able to express myself better than I can with words, and I can’t imagine ever giving it up. When I moved to Canada, I searched for a dance studio, and I’m so glad I found Raino and have been with them ever since.

The kindness and warm atmosphere here made me feel welcome from the very beginning. Now, I’m starting my fourth year at the studio, with many more to come!

🥰😍😘
