To the attendees from Saturday night at the Rollin on the River performance. You may have seen our studio photographer moving about while we were dancing. We know he does his best not to interfere with your sightlines while capturing his images.

He attends our practices & rehearsals to understand the routines. More than likely members of our Host Club have met and maybe have shared the dance floor with Carlos Fordsen as well.

Do enjoy a couple of edited pics from that evening. Safe Travels this Labor Day.

We had 2 cameras capturing the action at Rollin On The River Dance Convention last night. Performing for this group of fellow dancers is always a pleasure. They totally understand the preparation and practice involved.

Understand that these devices were unattended so we were quite happy with the results we are about to share. Thanks to all of the people responsible for the event and the attendees that make it that much more with their great attitudes.

We post our videos to YouTube first so we make sure that we are in the clear for any copyright challenges.

Well now, just last night we performed our 007 group routine. Plus Stan and Mary dance a solo as well for the attendees at the Rollin on the River dance convention.

We had an absolute blast. It was worth all of the practice with the responses we received. Here are a few group shots while we finish processing the stills and videos. So more to come.

Thank you to the West County Swing Dance Club for asking us to return. Always a fun time with our fellow dancers.

Congratulations to the Regency Dance Team with the very successful performance of their routine. Their commitment to each other and the team in general was apparent as we watched their weekly progress over the couple of months.

WELL DONE!!

Labor day weekend coming up! That means it is Rollin' On The River Dance Convention weekend too! The U Can Dance Studio is looking forward to presenting our formation team's dance routine based per request with a "James Bond 007" theme.
Our formation team, comprised of our adult advanced group class will be putting the finishing touches this week and be willing and able for the Saturday evening performance.
It's always a pleasure to perform for this audience of fellow dancers. They completely understand the preparations needed to make these exhibitions happen.

The edited photo is by our studio photographer & student Carlos Fordsen taken at the 2025 edition of Rollin' which was "The Big Top" themed. So much fun!

Thank you West County Swing Dance Club for the invitation!0

Just a bit of a throwback to 2021. We were having a fun time getting back in touch with our dance friends after Covid-19 with the Rollin On The River dance convention attendees.

We are going to be at the convention again this year! Always a fun time and plenty of support from our fellow dancers. We are working on the final touches this week with a dress rehearsal this coming Saturday with the St. Louis Ballroom Dancers monthly event. They will let us know if we need to make adjustments.

A few times per year our studio does performances outside of the studio. Some are private while others are public. We have a formation team comprised of our advanced students that meet on Wednesday evenings.

We were in Centralia IL in the Spring and coming in September we will be in St. Louis for a private Dance Convention and the St. Louis Art Fair in Clayton MO on Sept. 19

Our students are our extended dance family. We share a passion for dance as well as mutual respect for our skills in dance. We dance with each other to strengthen our skills as well as the friendship. We have no problem making room for more members that want to learn. So come see us.

Looks like we have a bit of a break from the heat warnings this week. We can certainly appreciate the moderation.

Our formation teams are adding the final touches on the preparations for the upcoming performances in just a few weeks from now. They will be checking the costumes and the all important footwear too. Our dancers have shoes that will be function on rough surfaces as well as others designed for wooden (preferred ) surfaces. Need to treat our feet properly.

Hope to see you on a dance floor. We don't mind sharing the space at all. Come join the fun.

Today is Son & Daughter day, so we happen to have an image captured of Mary and her son Eli in a performance last September for the Rollin on the River dance convention. The studio was showcasing our youth dancers as well as our adult formation team at this private event.

Performing for our fellow dancers is always a fun time. They understand the preparation behind the performance. We were rewarded with a standing ovation from the attendees.

Hope to see you on a dance floor in the future.
