About Us

About Art of VIII Dance Studio

Art of VIII is the safe place for adults to learn dance, exercise courage, and enhance their overall health. We believe in the power of self-love and self-care through movement and our time together is all about you—nourishing your soul, body, and mind.

Perfection is not our goal, growth is. In this journey of dance, we’re in a constant state of motion, evolving into our best selves. In our studio, there’s no room for judgment, comparison, or embarrassment. We meet everyone at the barre, where we value, uplift, and embrace your unique self from day one.

We create masterful life dancers using nontraditional teaching techniques that move beyond the studio, revealing a profound awareness of and control over life alignment through classroom engagement, a disciplined approach to the fundamentals of dance, and a deep respect and appreciation of the life-changing power within movement.

Let’s Be Real

In this studio, we value the real you. Judgement, comparison, and embarrassment have no place here. We meet everyone at the barre, our starting point, where we value, uplift, and embrace authenticity from day one.

Fill Your Cup First

We believe you are deserving and worthy of the self-love and self care that is found through the art of movement. Our time together is for you — to honor yourself by first filling your own cup before pouring into the cups of others.

Perfection Does Not Exist

We are in a constant state of motion, moving toward our highest version of self; therefore, perfection does not exist — only continuous growth and an appreciation of every step we take within life’s dance — when we move, we change for the better.

Respect the Art

We respect the art of dance, it’s history, the discipline it takes to master the fundamentals, and the courage it inspires for one to leave the barre and move freely, confidently, and passionately through life.

Always Be Engaged

The greatest dancers deliver the best performances through communication, engagement, and hard work. We uphold these standards in life and in our studio — and we expect the same of our students.

Dancer,

If you’re searching to find more than just a quick class to take or a way to get your workout in, you’ve found the right place! Here, we create MOVEment deep within our soul. We come to ballet inspired by the strength, grit, and utter courage that it takes to start as a beginner, to develop our minds, to train our bodies, and to humble our souls.

We aren’t seeking a platform for perfection, but rather a constant avenue to be challenged; to wrestle with the trappings of the heart and our minds out on the floor. We know that as we sweat and groan and persevere that our souls are being strengthened, and we take the lessons from the barre back into our everyday life.

Commitment to Excellence

We deeply respect the art of dance, its rich history, the discipline it demands, and the courage it instills. We’re dedicated to mastering the fundamentals while inspiring the confidence to move freely, passionately, and confidently through life.

The greatest dancers deliver the best performances through communication, engagement, and hard work. We uphold these standards in life and in our studio — and we expect the same of our students.
