“And suddenly you know: it’s time to start something new, and trust the magic of new beginnings.” – Unknown

“Don’t underestimate yourself. You are more ca

“Don’t underestimate yourself. You are more capable than you think.” - @mistyonpointe

One of my favorite quotes from Misty Copeland. These words run through my head as I see my adult ballet students exhausted during body conditioning or pushing through a difficult position with the words “I can’t” on the tip of their tongues.

Yes. You. Can.

At Art of VIII we see each dancer. We see you and your individual potential. We will give you the skills needed to learn the fundamentals, and there with you every step of the way. Even while distance learning at home.

We welcome you with open arms. Check out our July offerings for adult beginner ballet classes. Class discount packages available.

Dance teachers often encounter adults expressing curiosity and desire to express themselves through movement. Then immediately follow their statements with a "but…<insert excuse here>," and we never see them in the studio.

For various reasons, we as adults condition ourselves to place our wants and needs on the back burner. Why do we do that?

Why do we fill everyone else’s cup before we tend to fill our own? Don’t we deserve happiness?

Listen to me: You deserve happiness too. If you think dance will make you happy, you need to start today.

Our reasons for dancing are as unique as fingerprints. We all come to this inspirational yet challenging art form for personal reasons …. and often, it's not just one.

If something is holding you back, release yourself from old mindsets and past limitations.

Friend, you've got this. You were made for this. Take that first step. No matter what it is. The time is now. Start today.

Hey Dancers! On this day… Sing a song full

Hey Dancers!

On this day…

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on 'til victory is won

Excerpt: Lift Every Voice and Sing, James Weldon Johnson.

Enjoy your holiday. No classes today.
