New Season, New Schedule

As we prepare to bid farewell to winter, we are looking ahead and opening our arms to the magical arrival of spring! The cold days are soon to be a distant memory, and we can look forward to a season of new beginnings. The trees will be blooming, the sun will be shining, and the world will be alive with fresh energy.

We are excited to resume regular classes at our sunny studio within Studio 4 Athletics. We’ve been excited to be part of the Studio 4 Dance program, and look forward to adding more classes with new instructors in the coming weeks.

We’ve always been fond of guest workshops, so keep an eye out for workshop announcements in the near future.

Our ongoing program will have a drop-in component, but we will be transitioning towards more seasonal series. Pole, floorwork, and aerial arts all benefit from regular, weekly exploration. We also understand that it can be difficult to commit with such busy lives. As a result, all our regular, all-levels classes will always have a few spots open for drop-in.
