As life gets fuller—and sometimes heavier—making space for the things that bring you joy becomes even more important.

When you choose what helps you feel good—mentally, emotionally, and physically—you’re building strength from the inside out.

When you prioritize your happiness, you give the people around you permission to do the same. Permission to find joy, to stay curious, and to keep moving.

Happy Birthday, Alice! đź’›

Alice is a lifelong dancer who continues to exemplify the beauty, joy, and grace that dance can bring into a life.

Through her teaching and performing, Alice shares a deep appreciation for movement, along with the wisdom and knowledge gathered through a lifetime of dancing. Her classes invite fellow learners to slow down, become curious, and tap into their own creativity, sensation, and awareness.

As a 5th-generation Isadora Duncan dancer, Alice carries forward an extraordinary artistic legacy while honoring Duncan’s contributions to modern dance. She reminds us that art has the power to break the mold, challenge convention, and make a statement.

As Central Studio continues to grow its Adult Dance Program for dancers 55+, Alice shares the transformative value of mindful movement through her classes: Move for Health, Isadora Duncan Dance, and BodyMind Dancing (BMD®).

Her students are lifelong movers, curious learners, and creative individuals who want to keep discovering — deepening their understanding of themselves, their relationships with others, and the world around them.

You can join Alice Thursdays at 10:30 AM for Move for Health at Central Studio’s Central West End location. And look ahead to October, when more classes will be added to the schedule to support daily movement, balance, vitality, and feeling more energized and connected in your body.

Happy Birthday, Alice!

Thank you for continuing to share your artistry, education, liveliness, and wisdom with the Central Studio community. đź’›

This is Alice.

Alice is a beautiful example of Movement for Life—continuing to learn, move, teach, and share her knowledge of dance across generations.
Not only will she be celebrating her birthday at the end of this month, but she’ll also be bringing new classes to Central Studio this October, creating even more opportunities for dancers of all ages and experience levels to benefit from her knowledge and craft.

Join Alice throughout September at 10:30 AM at our Central West End location for her Move for Health class. Then, keep an eye out for her Isadora Duncan class (as well as others) beginning in October.

You are never too old to return to dance—or to experience it for the very first time.

When you step into a dance class, you become part of something bigger: connected to generations of movement, to your own body and creativity, to your surroundings, and to the people moving alongside you.

This is Movement for Life!

Starting again can feel harder than starting for the first time.

It's easy to focus on what you've lost, but you're not beginning from zero. You're returning with experience, resilience, and the courage to show up again.

That first step back is something to be proud of!

New to our Central West End location? Here's how to find your way in:

Pilates:
Coming for a Pilates class? You can enter through the front door.

Dance + Fitness:
For dance and fitness classes, the front door will likely be locked. If it is, head around to the back entrance to come inside.

Academy Students:
All Academy students should be dropped off at the back entrance. Our admin team will be there to check students in when they arrive.

Coming to a new place can feel a little overwhelming when you’re not sure where to go. We hope this helps make your first visit feel simple and easy. 💛

And if you’re already part of the Central Studio community but haven’t yet explored our Central West End location, consider this your invitation to discover more. There are additional opportunities for valuable movement education, creative classes, and new ways to stay energized waiting for you.
