For 23 years our studio has been developing and creating the perfect balance between professional level classes and a welcoming atmosphere. Our studio offers professional level classes in styles including ballet, pointe, tap, lyrical, and jazz. We begin classes at the age of 18 months. Our priority is to teach our students the art of dance while maintaining a family environment.

Brandi is the wife of Brian Roberts and the mother of four beautiful children: Mac, Morgan, Emily and Jake. Brandi looks forward to returning to her studio and to her children. She has found that dance is an integral part of her life and sharing her talent and love of dance with her students brings her much joy. Brandi’s goal for the students is for them to grow not only as a dancer, but also as a person.
