Our 4th Annual Memorial Monday Picnic Party was truly wonderful ❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who came, shared delicious food, played games, laughed together, and enjoyed the beautiful weather with us. We had around 60 people this year, including our amazing staff, current students, past students, families, and new friends joining us for the first time.

It was such a joy to see everyone together and create another beautiful memory as a studio community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this event so special.

Already can’t wait for next year ☀️

Dancing for Your Memory

Last week, we had the honor of attending the Women Conquer Alzheimer’s Gala, which took place on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at Knollwood Country Club in West Bloomfield. This wonderful event brought together approximately 250 attendees, including researchers, neurologists, medical professionals, families, and supporters, all united to raise awareness about a disease impacting so many lives.

Ballroom dancing is an activity that is social, physical, and mental — three elements that studies suggest may help support brain health and slow cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

At the same time, our other team was celebrating Evan DeSilva’s birthday during a special client appreciation and networking event. They performed a beautiful Salsa, and we always love the opportunity to celebrate our students while connecting with members of the community and other local businesses.
