First day of (dance) school
Today's the day: Studio 419 will begin teaching dance classes at 301 N Main St.,--ballet, combo tap/ballet, hip-hop, modern, pointe and tap--including and adult tap class. Students will range in age from 3 to 69.
The Icon visited with instructors Samantha Beck and Shaina Phillips at the studio's open house on Saturday, August 20, when they met with famlies to discuss what type of dance their children are interested in and the clothes and shoes needed for class. The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce board also celebrated the new business opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
It has been some time since Ada had a dance studio. Beck saw the need and the fatigue of parents who have been driving their children out of town for classes.
Beck noted that the teachers will provide parents with notes online, where they will post comments on student accomplishments and guidance (including videos) for home practice. The business is owned by Samantha and Sean Beck.
Registration will be open until mid-October. The classes are held at 301 N Main St., First United Methodist Church.
Registration can be done online at
