Did you know we offer monthly memberships? 👀

Many of our students take advantage of membership options that can include:

✅ Unlimited access to 40+ group classes each month
✅ Private lessons each month
✅ Discounts and additional benefits depending on the membership level

And memberships can start as low as **$120 per month**.

For dancers who enjoy attending classes regularly, memberships are often one of the most affordable ways to stay involved, continue learning, and get the most out of everything happening at the studio.

We also offer membership and package options that include additional private lessons for those looking for more personalized instruction.

Not sure what option is the best fit for you? Feel free to ask one of our instructors—we're happy to help 👍

"How should I practice?"

It's one of the most common questions we get from students.

The answer might be simpler than you think 😄

In this video, Rachel shares a few practical tips to help you practice more effectively, build confidence, and get more out of the time you spend dancing between lessons.

What are some things that have helped *you* when practicing? 👇

🎬 BONUS FOOTAGE! 🎬

As many of you know, the theme of our upcoming showcase is **"Let's Go to the Movies!"**

Over the past few weeks we've been filming a bunch of silly movie-inspired clips, and unfortunately we won't have time to finish editing all of them before the showcase.

So rather than let them sit on a hard drive forever, we figured we'd share some of our favorite extra footage 😄

Think of this as the director's cut... or maybe the blooper reel.

Either way, we hope you enjoy it!

And if you haven't grabbed your showcase tickets yet, now's a great time. We'd love to see you there as we celebrate all the hard work our students have put into their performances 🎥💃🕺

One underrated benefit of dancing?

Having something to look forward to each week 👍

A lot of adults get trapped in:
Work → home → repeat

Dance breaks the cycle.

It gives people a reason to get dressed up, go out, interact, and enjoy life a little more ✨
