More Than Just a Dance Class
Art of VIII is the safe place for adults to learn dance, exercise
courage, and enhance their overall health. We believe in the
power of self-love and self-care through movement and our time
together is all about you—nourishing your soul, body, and mind.
In this journey of dance, we’re in a constant state of motion, evolving into our best selves. In our studio, there’s no room for judgment, comparison, or embarrassment. We meet everyone at the barre, where we value, uplift, and embrace your unique self from day one.
We create masterful life dancers using nontraditional teaching techniques that move beyond the studio, revealing a profound awareness of and control over life alignment through classroom engagement, a disciplined approach to the fundamentals of dance, and a deep respect and appreciation of the life-changing power within movement.

Let’s Be Real
In this studio, we value the real you.
Judgement, comparison, and
embarrassment have no place here.
We meet everyone at the barre, our
starting point, where we value, uplift,
and embrace authenticity from day one.
Fill Your Cup First
We believe you are deserving and
worthy of the self-love and self care that
is found through the art of movement.
Our time together is for you – to honor
yourself by first filling your own cup
before pouring into the cups of others.
Perfection Does Not Exist
We are in a constant state of motion,
moving toward our highest version of self; therefore, perfection does not exist,
only continuous growth and an
appreciation of every step we take
within life’s dance – when we move,
we change for the better.
Whether you’re returning to dance after a break
for years or even decades, coming to dance
class for the first time, or simply arriving for the
love of nurturing and caring for your body,
we welcome you with open arms.
Respect the Art & Always Be Engaged
We respect the art of dance, it’s history, the discipline it takes to master
the fundamentals, and the courage it inspires for one to leave the barre
and move freely, confidently, and passionately through life.
The greatest dancers deliver the best performances through communication, engagement, and hard work. We uphold these standards in life and in our studio and we expect the same of our students.

Dancer,
If you’re searching to find more than just a quick class to take or a way to get
your workout in, you’ve found the right place! Here, we create MOVEment
deep within our soul. We come to ballet inspired by the strength, grit, and
utter courage that it takes to start as a beginner, to develop our minds, to train
our bodies, and to humble our souls.
We aren’t seeking a platform for perfection, but rather a constant avenue to be challenged; to wrestle with the trappings of the heart and our minds out on the floor. We know that as we sweat and groan and persevere that our souls are being strengthened, and we take the lessons from the barre back into our everyday life.
Ready when you are,
