A Community in Motion
The Studio
The Center: dance+yoga studio is focused on fun, accessible programming to make movement a way of life. Whether you are interested in yoga and zumba or you used to dance in your youth and want to pop in for a drop-in tap or ballet class, we are the place for you. It is also a great place for current dancers to come and take an extra technique class or special workshop and experience new teaching styles and choreography.
With a drop-in model for all classes, we are unlike other local dance studios and aim to work with and promote other studios in the area to help students find a place for regular classes, recitals and performance opportunities, and competition experience if they would like. The Center is truly about community and aims to embody the motto of 'arts in motion.'
