OUR STORY
THE STUDIO Dance & Wellness is a competitive and recreational dance studio located in Revelstoke, BC. THE STUDIO specializes in classes for toddlers up to adults with a wide variety of dance styles which include: Classical Ballet, Character Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Modern, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Acro Dance and Musical Theatre. It is our foremost goal to create a community space which offers a place for children and adults to be active, grow and learn among other like-minded people.
Jacqui and Kenley came together through a shared passion for teaching dance. After working together on various creative projects, they quickly became close friends and discovered that they both always dreamed of owning a dance studio. They decided to team up and make that dream a reality. Kenley and Jacqui understand the importance of structure and stability and are determined to provide that to their students. After a little over a year of planning… THE STUDIO was born.
