We are excited to welcome Oriana Rodriguez to The Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts faculty. Oriana will be teaching our Wednesday night Hip Hop classes. We still have a few spaces available for ages 6-teens!

The weather is so lovely today, and we are so fortunate that our school is just steps to the beach! Miss Charlotte and the dancers were inspired to take their Improv and Choreo class outside.
