WOW, what an exciting day yesterday for all our lucky Saturday students. They got to be the first classes to test out our brand new Marley studio floor!

This is a state of the art dance floor that allows our students fluid movement and grip, as they are challenged by different styles during every class. A truly incredible addition to our school that will enhance every students experience at class!

A pleasure for all to dance on and a pleasure to teach on.
