Letter From the Owner:

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Angela March, I am currently 22 years old with the passion for dance in my heart for the past 19 years. Yes, you read that right. I’ve been dancing since I was 3, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been dreaming of having my own dance studio since I was around 12 years old. You know, the time of your life when people are always asking you what you want to be when you grow up. I always wanted to do something with dance. I had planned to get a degree in dance and travel the world dancing professionally, then when my body finally gave out from that I would start my own studio. Well, it didn’t happen that way, but that’s okay because I never thought I would be able to open a studio at only 22 years old. 

I grew up with my mom as a teacher and my dad as a pastor. They both were amazing role models to watch on how to be a leader in and out of a teaching setting. My mom taught me how to love and care for everyone, no matter what they look like. She taught me that a diagnosis can be just words, and that doesn’t have to stop you from living your life. She is one of the reasons I feel like I can teach any student because it’s not a disability, but a new adventure to embark on! My dad taught me how to take charge of a room no matter the size. I’ve helped my dad with church services on and off since I was a kid. He taught me how to speak into a microphone like it wasn’t even there, so now I have to remember to quiet my voice when in a smaller space. My first time being in front of a church full of people (that I can remember) was dancing. I was probably 7 or 8 years old performing a liturgical dance called “The Cry of The Whole Congregation”, and it is my favorite performance memory. From that moment I knew dance was my form of worship, and it would be a part of my life forever!

I’ve been teaching dance for about 3 years between the Southwest Washington Dance Center, Winlock Dance Center and the Morton Dance Center satellite program, and OnStage at The Roxy. I’ve been choreographing for over 6 years and I’ve taught classes in ballet, jazz, modern, tap, hip hop, musical theater dance, and partnering. Teaching dance has been a weird experience for me because I never realized how much learning happens for the teacher.

Thank you for being a part of my dream!
