Rebecca Malek-Miller, who is one of our students moms, stopped us just after the finale of Oops - our 16th dance recital at Maple Point. She said, "Stop, hold still. This is my chance to get the three of you together.
So true. For 31 years I have wanted a picture of me and my daughters, Darby and Jodi. Finally, here it is. With pride and love, I wish to share this with you, the reader, and to say at 71 years old how much happiness I have had and will continue to have as a mother, teacher and yes, - a dancer. Once a dancer, always a dancer.
When you navigate through our site, of course youll be curious. Youll be looking for a studio which will give your child a place to learn, be happy and most of all be loved. Here is a place full of family, laughter and dance. For 31 years, our 3rd floor studio has had little feet scampering across the floor to the joy of music, dancing and laughter. Little ones have grown up to become women who send their little ones back to the studio they remember growing up.
It is here where we share moments and years of togetherness. "Once a dancer, always a dancer."
Truly,
Judi Rodrigues, Artistic Director
When you enroll in our studio, you will find a different approach to teaching dance. Our students are exposed to a variety of dance forms within their 1-hour class which immediately makes them well rounded dancers.
All students warm up with ballet technique allowing them to be exposed to ballet. Then the class will focus on the style of dance for that class, i.e. jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, tap, etc. Every class ends with a dance routine which changes weekly. Teaching all our students to pick up on the choreography gives them not only the chance to dance what they've learned, but the ability to grasp combinations quickly. In addition, the music played in our studio ranges from old school to new school, and is always high quality and kid-friendly.
We strongly encourage self expression. Therefore, we start right away with our baby classes. We call it "Star Dancing." After the students learn basic ballet and jazz movements, they use a "prop" and dance in their own way - by themselves. Of course, for our more shy students - this is always optional.
We create a beautiful atmosphere with music and lights, and "off they go." It's a joy to see. In other words, we at our studio, teach kids to dance. Isn't that what a dance studio should do? We think so! We think you will too.
