This year we made a very difficult decision to leave our previous studio due to our concerns with COVID. We truly thought that our dance life would be put on hold because we didn’t believe that the studios would be able to implement policies with the amount of dancers in this world! Well we were wrong. Thank you Dance Gallery for offering many options and all while implementing safe practices to protect everyone. We have truly enjoyed our experience and will be forever grateful for our time of dance with you! Dance is life!
