Studio West Performing Arts Centre

Technique on fleek with our senior company💓🤩🤩

So excited to start our Monday night classes tonight!! Here is a sneak peak into senior small group tap “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” choreography by Mark Smith (I do not own the rights to this music)

We had such an amazing first week of classes! Reminder that registration is still open so come try a class! Here is a sneak peek into tumbling! #dancer #tumbling #acro (*I do not own the rights to this music*)

I wanted to make a tribute to the 6 seniors who graduated this year and also create a slideshow of memories from the last nine years of teaching at Studio West. It’s been my privilege and honor to watch these awesome dancers grow up in front of my eyes. Their talent and dedication is truly inspiring. It has brought me great joy to witness them overcome obstacles, work to reach their goals, and grow into real artists. They’ve put up with my crazy ideas and theatrical tendencies - becoming space aliens 👽, vampires 🧛‍♀️ , superheroes 🦸‍♀️ and warriors... portraying the real struggles of drug addiction, mental illness, pain, loss, grief, and PTSD. They’ve also told stories of hope, strength, love and friendship. Many times their heartfelt performances have brought tears to my eyes. 😭 What a blessing to share the past 9 years with all of you! I love you. I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished, but most of all who you’ve become! I can’t wait to see what each of you does next! 💗 - Kira

#repost from @turnitaroundtour: “I find that what will make a good dancer/performer become a great dancer/performer are the small details, the transitions, what makes dancing just that! Yes, the big moments are impressive and exciting (and need much care and ex*****on), but putting the same energy and focus into every single second of what you are actively doing is what will set you apart from the rest! - Tara Lacobucci @tamarie25 #TIATour #facultytips #studiowestpac #dancer @sophie.stephens 💗👍🏻 #teentitlewinner #thisplacewasashelter #contemporary #dance #solo #awesomeness
