LET THE RHYTHM MOVE YOU

Yes, we finally did it, we have invested in a beautiful custom made neon quote! As part of Aric and Masha’s interior vision all along, it has already proven to be a big hit, creating beautiful warm mood lighting at the studio, and helping inspire all our members to MOVE to that rhythm like they mean it! Plus it has made our studio oh so Insta friendly! 

May has also seen our co-founder Aric Yegudkin take the stage with Kerryn Baird for the annual Dance for Cancer gala night, an event inspired by Dancing With The Stars. Several local heroes have been partnered up with professional dancers to create a special performance for the night. Kerryn and Aric went on to win the People’s Choice award, as well as raising over $8000 for the charity. Masha Belash has also participated in the event as a judge, and MOVE Studios couldn’t be more proud to support such a worthy cause. You can read the full article below:
