Ohana School of Performing Arts

Ohana School of Performing Arts Ohana School of Performing Arts has a mission to spread peace and positivity through performance Ashley Kohl, Owner & Creative Director

"I don't want to just teach dance - I want to instill strong values in my students: kindness, compassion, support, empathy, goodwill, teamwork, trust, & love. I want everyone to feel as though they are part of the family, because each of us have our own gifts to share with the world! Our goal is not only to educate and train dedicated, disciplined dancers, but to raise good humans with love and compassion for all."

Hey dance family! 🚗✨ As we kick off our season and the studio gets busy, we want to make sure drop-offs, pick-ups, and parking go as smoothly as possible for everyone.

Parking around the studio can be a bit tricky during peak hours, so please take a quick look at the graphic below to see our designated parking areas—as well as where not to park! ⬇️

Here are a few quick reminders to keep our studio community safe and running smoothly:

Safety First: Kids will be coming and going, so please drive extra slowly through the lot and street areas.

Respect Our Neighbors: Please avoid parking in spaces reserved for neighboring businesses or blocking driveway access. We love being a good neighbor!

Mind the Signs: Be sure to keep an eye out for all posted "No Parking" signs and fire lanes.

Thank you so much for your support, patience, and help in keeping our students safe and our neighborhood happy. See you in class! 🩰✨

Wishing a fantastic birthday to Miss Heather! May your day be filled with joy, laughter, and wonderful memories. 🎉🎂

Prepping for the new season? Here is your quick guide to class footwear before you shop! 🩰👇

Ballet: Any style or material works for weekly classes! Your instructor will specify the exact color needed for the Spring Recital later in the season.

Tap: Grab an inexpensive or secondhand pair (black vs. tan will depend on recital costumes, so no need to spend big yet!).

Jazz & Contemporary: Barefoot, half soles, or foot un**es.

Musical Theater: Barefoot, half soles, foot un**es, or jazz shoes. (Character heels are optional for Preteen/Teen levels).

Hip Hop: Any sneakers with clean soles!

Pointe: Please email Miss Darlene directly at [email protected] with any specific pointe shoe questions.

🛍️ WHERE TO SHOP LOCAL & SAVE:

Visit second hand clothing stores (Once Upon a Child, Savers, etc.) or check Ebay or Facebook Marketplace for gently used items.

Shop Miss Darlene's "Studio D Clothing & Shoe Boutique" right inside Ohana during the first week of classes for tons of new AND gently-used dancewear and shoes!
