1400 W Columbia Ave Special Videos & Activities to Keep You Moving!
We're posting videos and activities to keep you moving at home.
We have had classes with many of these instructors at dance conventions.
For All Dancers there is a "DANCERS FEET" link for technique.
Ballet – Barre for 7 and up dancers = Remember for barre to use a chair back, table or Kitchen counter. Barre height should be just below your shoulders with your arms in 2nd. You may even challenge your self with holding your position and balance by letting go of the barre for as long as you can. Work on your French words.
Intermediate-advance ballet there are also some center floor combinations. Parts may be used in new choreography.

Acro – Remember your space/ safety firsts: Warm ups, practice your tricks that you can do alone [that means no spotter to help] stretch, stretch, stretch.
Tots and Combo- many parents have recorded dances during class on Visiting Day. Please practice along with the recording and we encourage you to share them with other dancers in your class.
We are temporarily closed. :(
SRSD and Dancewear will be CLOSED beginning March 16th as mandated by the Governor.
Please continue to check FB for updates or changes.
Will treat this closing of the Studio as snow days.
Thank you for your understanding.
