STUDIO DESCRIPTION

We have three large dance rooms. Each room is equipped with a sprung sub floor and marley surface floor. The sub floor provides the resiliance, or spring, to help protect dancers' joints and muscles from injury. The surface floor provides resistance. Both are necessary to ensure a healthy and safe environment.

Mirrors line the walls of all three dance rooms. High quality audio equipment is used for optimum sound. Portable ballet barres are used during ballet classes for maximum use of mirrors and studio space. Studio C is equipped with a Stott Pilates rehabilitation reformer. Personalized reformer classes are available by appointment. The studio also has a men's and women's changing room available for client use.
