We're behind on sharing this information, but some of our students attended and and left not only with more knowledge but with scholarships! We always want our dancers to know the reason for going to conventions is for the experience and to gain more knowledge of a genre, getting a scholarship is not the entire experience it's a cherry on top. But needless to say, we are so proud of our dancers being recognized! Awesome job everyone! 👏🏽👏🏽

CALLING ALL 6-10 YEAR OLDS! THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU THIS SATURDAY!!

My name is Onyx and I go by they/he/she pronouns. I am a mover and choreographer from Las Vegas, Nevada. I started my dance journey about 13 years ago, as a Breaker, at a studio called The Rock Center for Dance. I have been fortunate enough to learn from a wide range of movers that come from many different backgrounds and experiences. Because of them and friends I've made along the way, my knowledge now ranges from Ballet all the way to Waacking. I am so excited to meet and dance with all of you wonderful movers and don't forget to bring that energy!!
