Welcome to July at The Dance Barre

This month, we’re turning up the heat with our Unapologetically You: Summer Series—a sassy celebration of self-expression, movement, and showing up as your boldest, truest self.

At The Dance Barre, self-care isn’t just about slowing down—it’s about tuning in, taking up space, and dancing through life on your own terms. When you embrace who you are, you empower others to do the same.

Thank you for continuing this journey with us. We can’t wait to celebrate every step with you.

At The Dance Barre, you can come as you are, and change as you will.

4th of July Closure Notice: The studio will be closed on Friday, July 4th in observance of the holiday. Thursday and Saturday classes will continue as scheduled. Please be sure to check the schedule for class times and details. Enjoy the holiday!

 

Looking Ahead – A New Chapter for The Dance Barre

Last month, Ellen shared some heartfelt news: after years of running both Pure Energy Dance Productions and The Dance Barre, she has officially chosen to pour her full energy into The Dance Barre.


This decision reflects the incredible growth and momentum of our adult dance community—and the exciting future we’re building together.


If you missed the announcement, here’s the heart of it: Pure Energy Dance Productions has closed, and The Dance Barre is now Ellen’s sole focus. This shift opens the door for even more connection, creativity, and opportunities tailored specifically for adult dancers.


We’re so grateful for your continued support and can’t wait for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of this powerful journey.

 

Tonight’s the Night – Tap with Xavier Begins!

Xavier’s debut class is the start of something exciting—a high-energy weekly series full of rhythm, connection, and pure footwork joy.

Ready to make some noise? Sign up now and don’t miss a beat.

July Teacher Features

Meet Your Sassy Summer Instructors

Our Unapologetically You: Summer Series kicks off with a trio of powerhouse instructors who bring energy, empowerment, and just the right amount of sass to the studio. Meet the women leading our boldest, fiercest classes of the season!

Kelsea Hull (aka Waltzing Matilda) is the mastermind behind Burlesque Unveiled, blending classical ballet technique with cheeky burlesque glamour. As the producer and star of Wretched and Divine Cabaret, she brings theatrical flair, vintage charm, and unapologetic confidence to every class.

Lisa Perkins co-leads Heels & Heartbeats, a series grounded in joy, self-discovery, and powerful movement. Rediscovering dance as an adult, Lisa knows firsthand the magic of coming home to your body—and she’s here to help you do the same.

Ilana Mosley, also leading Heels & Heartbeats, delivers strong technique, fearless expression, and major hype energy. With a background in lyrical, jazz, and stiletto performance, Ilana’s classes are equal parts fierce and freeing.

This summer, they’re not just teaching dance—they’re leading a movement. Join us and step into your power.
