Dance101

Dear Dance Family,

Sixteen years ago, on April 1, 2004, dance 101 was born. Three months earlier I cashed out my IRA ($40,000 - it was everything I had) and signed a lease on a small one room studio on Miami Circle in Buckhead. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into - I only had the dream of a beautiful studio that would touch others' lives as dance had touched mine. I was 46 at the time. I didn't know anything - not the first thing - about running a studio - much less how to create a concept that did not exist (there were no adult only studios at the time that welcomed inexperienced dancers). Paulina, in college back then, came up with the name Dance 101. 

Dear Dance Family,

Wow! Alpharetta has already been open a week! And what a first week back! Our new procedures ran smoothly, everyone knew what to do, attendance was great...everybody was ready to dance!! The studio was filled with the most beautiful loving energy. It was a light in this dark time. I think Alpharetta dancer, Linda Mayse summed it up beautifully in her note.

Thank you Linda!

So let’s get Atlanta ready, shall we… 

Dear Dance Family,

Alright, so here we go! We are days away from dancing in Alpharetta!! A few classes have wait-listed and some are close but don't let that discourage you, there's still plenty of availability. Get in while it’s hot!! Click HERE. 

Note: If you were having issues signing into classes ie. system prompting you to pay despite having a Membership, that has been fixed! Future bookings have been enabled. You’re good to go! 

For reminders on studio guidelines, scroll down. And look out on our socials for an adorable video of Janine and Ofelia taking a tour of the studio so you know what to expect. I promise it will put a smile on your face!

And now for the BIG NEWS IN THE A!!!
