Our Dance Studio

Need we say more? Probably not. Happy Mothers day to all of you. We know who you are. 💓🥰 ... See MoreSee Less

Our studio photographer has been busy with a few edits. This one is of Mary with Steve in our late March "The Color of the Dance" at the Centralia Cultural Center performance. Just so you know we usually dress in comfortable clothes vs elaborate costumes but we will admit we do have fun with it. You are more than welcome to come join us as well.

Advanced group classes on Wednesday evenings. Stop in. We start just after 7PM.

Our instructors (Stan, Mary & Charles) are also involved in local dance clubs assisting in their group classes too be it Swing, Latin, Rhythm, Smooth or Standard styling.

Hope to see you on the dance floor.

Just a short post wishing all of our neighbors, friends & followers the very best during the past couple of days as well as today with the possibility of more extreme weather.

Yes, we have group classes tomorrow night @ 7:00 PM but keep an eye on the Sky and any weather app you may have. The old saying "If you don't like the weather, wait a bit" is still in effect.

From our house to yours. ... See MoreSee Less

Our Studio photographer was busy during our performances at the Centralia Cultural society hall this past March 28. Almost as busy as Stan dancing with Sandy & Rue. We had a great time that evening and we also have time for you should you want to stop on by Wednesday evening @ 7:00 to check out our group classes.

We are working on different formations and techniques. This is an advanced level class BUT do you know what level you really are? Come on and visit to check out the action. You just might be what we need.

Just another capture from the latest set of performances for the Studio at Centralia Cultural Center. This is Mary Poll (co-owner) dancing with long time student Carl in a Samba. We challenge our students with routines that are built with their choices of music and the movements within the dance style. It is a partnership that is built on cooperation and the knowledge of the dance. Pushing the envelope a bit each time with a performance in mind, be it in studio or outside as this image shows.

We will add that learning a dance routine in this way pushes aside any of the matters of the day as you need to concentrate on your partnership while dancing. An escape, you could say from the stresses that you walk in with. Plus spending time dancing with the music just takes your brain somewhere else. Usually ending with smile and maybe a bit out of breath as well.

Come join us. Advance group classes on Wednesday evenings starting just after 7:00pm. $10 pp per session.

Friday in the Lou area and the weather has a chance of rain showers so keep the umbrella handy. We decide to pull up a shot of Stan and Mary performing at the 2013 Dancing In The Street festival at the Grand Center.

The studio has been open since 1991 teaching St Louis to Dance. We also do reach out performances as well with other organizations around town. Just give us a call or stop by the studio Monday ~ Thursday. Do call ahead to be sure we are there as we also teach outside of the studio too. Check the About section of the page for our contact information.
