After a few months of renovations - the studio is ready for DANCE again! We have session classes, drop-in classes and workshops listed through the beginning of October. See you so very soon!

Did you miss me? Classes resume in less than two weeks! Check out the schedule below, more will be added (Workshops, and Sept-Dec schedule) - but I wanted to get these to you as soon as I could. Construction took longer than I hoped, which is pretty typical. But the new dance floor is in, fresh pain...
