Showcase Corner

Praise Night
Friday, April 17, 2009
In-Studio Showcase

We had a standing-room-only crowd for our latest in-studio showcase.  Over 70 people came Friday,
April 17, 2009 to support their favorite Chattanooga DanceSport Students who performed to praise and inspirational music.

 

Competition Corner

Already this year, we have participated in three competitions!

In February, we went to Knoxville and the Smoky Mountain Challenge.  Ann Allen, Merilee Milburn, and Rhonda Tinsley placed in the top three in everything they competed in.

In St. Louis in March, Merilee Milburn and Karen Chadwick did so well that, between the two of them, they received $1,000 worth of scholarship money and vouchers!

In April, we attended the Dixieland Invitational in Birmingham, Alabama.  Ann Allen, Merilee Milburn, Debbie Ausmus, Alexys Stone, and Brandon Shea did our studio proud with lots of first places in everything they participated in.

Please congratulate all these competitors the next time you see them.  They did an awesome job!

Pole Fitness Class

 

 

 

Wednesday Nights

We have never offered a class that has had so much positive response here at the studio! 

We've had the Ladies Sensual Movement Class, and that was a great success.  But since we got the poles up and the three lady teachers went to be certified, we have received a tremendous amount of buzz!

This class is a fitness class that highlights sensual dance movements and strength training provided by the actions taken with the pole.

The Pole Fitness Class is open to women ages 21 and up.  No men allowed.  No teenagers allowed.  Wear workout clothes and prepare to sweat and have a fantastic time!
