She also hopes to introduce new disciplines, including Scottish dance and musical theatre. \u201cWho knows what the future holds,\u201d she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Teacher Theresa Ramsarup echoed the excitement as she guided visitors through the new facility. \u201cThis is really cool and really exciting especially because we were in a small studio for so long and now the students have this space and it&#8217;s big for them and they can really get out there now,\u201d she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The school currently offers four main disciplines, ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop, with hopes to expand into other styles such as Highland dancing in the future. Classes run from September to December, and again from January through May, with dancers of all levels, from beginners to advanced, following structured programs and examinations.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To make the space welcoming and functional, Ramsarup explained that the school is adding new lighting, decorations, benches, and lockers. A homework and lounge area with tables, bean bags, and even a small kitchen is also being created to support students who spend long hours at the studio.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cSome of our dancers are here for several hours at a time, especially those taking multiple disciplines,\u201d Ramsarup said. \u201cWe want them to feel comfortable, whether that means doing homework, having dinner, or just taking a moment to relax before their next class.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The new studios are also designed with flexibility in mind. One room is equipped with mirrors for jazz and hip-hop, while the ballet studio intentionally has none, encouraging dancers to focus on technique and movement across the large open space.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The school employs five teachers, with class sizes capped at around 15 students.
