This September, we're honoring our fellow friend, dancer, and teammate Marilyn Mae Orendorff. 💜🩵

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, sharing resources, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and su***de.

After losing Marilyn to teen su***de last October, we have made it our mission to honor her by spreading love and awareness and providing a safe space to anyone who may be struggling.

When we were met with the unfathomable, her dance family united to mourn and honor her in the only way we knew how - through movement.

Let this be a reminder that you matter. You can fight. You can hold on. You can make it out. And if you need someone to call, we won't let you down.

If you or someone you know is struggling, text "friend" to 62640, or call 1-800-950-NAMI (6264).

Has your dancer repeated a class at the same level for a few years in a row? It’s OKAY, and completely NORMAL. 🥰

Pushing a dancer to progress at a faster pace, is not always the right (or most beneficial) answer.

We promise to always guide our dancers in a direction that helps them grow and progress in a way that serves them best. 🖤

Ballet students regularly spend one to three (even four) years at the same class level before moving on. This is 100% normal, and we dance teachers do not expect dancers to spend only one year in a level. There are numerous concepts and vocabulary steps that dancers need to master within each level. Allow students the time to work through them and grow!

It’s not everyday that you get to learn from a professional Russian ballerina…🩰

But it was last Thursday that our Company Team Dancers did! 🧑🏼‍🩰

We were honored to host Mr. Valery Lantratov for a few masterclasses at our studio last week.

Mr. Lantratov is a former principal ballet dancer with the Moscow Stanislavsky Ballet and Kremlin Ballet and general director of the Russian National Ballet Foundation.

He holds a teaching certificate with Russia's renowned National Academy of Theatrical Arts and was also a guest artist with the Portland Ballet and the Boston Ballet.

In 1997, Russian president Boris Yeltsin named Mr. Lantratov “People’s Artist of Russia," the Russian Federation’s highest artistic honor. In 1993 Lantratov formed the Russian National Ballet Foundation and has toured as a solo guest artist all over the world.

We feel very honored to have worked with him and learned from him. 👯‍♀️🖤

Are you ready for registration? 🤩

Classes have already began to FILL UP FAST! 🤯

If you're a new student planning to join us for the 2026-2027 season, here's some tips we have for our OPEN REGISTRATION event September 1-3 from 4:30-7:30 at our studio...

1. Come early! The earlier in the week you come, the more chances you'll have at securing a spot in the class you want. ⏰

2. Pick some back up classes! Once a class is full, we can no longer add anymore dancers to it. We have tons of options for each age range, so we highly recommend coming with a Plan B...and maybe even a Plan C! 😉

3. Save yourself some time and download the registration form from our website homepage! 👩🏻‍💻
