As the ingenious choreographer George Balanchine once asked, “What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.”

I started my dance training at the age of five after experiencing dance for the first time through a show at my library. I immediately fell in love with everything about this art form and begged my parents to sign me up for classes. Growing up, dance was always an important part of my life, but it wasn’t until after I graduated high school that it really began to shape me as a person.

The dance bag is packed with brand new ballet shoes. My favorite “beginning of the year” teaching tools are primed, and my brain is spinning with fun, new music that has just been released. Y’all, I think I am ready, even if my alarm clock is not! ;) Back to school we go!

We’re so excited to be back at it! Welcome to Studio Go, and welcome back for our existing dancers. Summer has come and gone, and we’re ready to get in full swing.

It’s summertime, and with that comes later nights, less responsibility, and overall, a more laidback vibe. We certainly love summer around here, but we’re already back at it and it’s one of our busier times of the year.

Just like that: another year in the books! What a year it has been.

This year we were excited to launch our pilot preschool yoga program, Youthful Yogis. The program is built upon yoga, fundamental movement, and play principles to keep young children engaged and having fun while learning how to use their bodies.

The Atlanta Ballet: Firebird

We loved hearing from many of our dancers about their exciting trips to the theater to see The Nutcracker in December. It inspires our dancers when they get to see the professional dancers, costumes, and productions. We believe that it is important to expose our dancers to famous ballets. In December we shared the story and music from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker and in January we shared Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake with our dancers.

The Atlanta Ballet will be performing Stravinsky’s Firebird from April 14-16, 2017. More details can be found here

As an effort to make dance more readily available to our dancers, we like to share dance events in our community from time-to-time. There's one this weekend that we think could be worth checking out!

For the love of dance! Learning to show compassion for all! During the month of February with Valentine’s Day upon us, we explored the concept of showing compassion for others. Studio Go believes in teaching our students to accept and love everyone. We use teachable moments that arise in class to demonstrate and explain the fundamentals of compassion such as encouragement, kindness, and understanding.
