New Dance Studio Opens
Gift of Dance Performing Arts Studio is now open at 1217 N. Kingshighway Suite 250. Managing officer NaTika Rowles hopes to make her studio a diverse cultural experience for students age three and up.
Rowles earned a bachelor of fine arts degree majoring in dance at Missouri State University in Springfield. She has done solo performances and choreography work. She also does dance work with her church, House of Prayer World Outreach Center.
The studio will offer instruction in ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance styles. Rowles also hopes to incorporate more ethnic dance styles including praise dancing, belly dancing and African dance styles. This summer she is offering summer camps that focus on different styles of dance each week.
Camps are for children ages 8 to 14 and are offered from 9 a.m. to noon. Private lessons are available for seniors, couples and children with disabilities. Lessons are available from 3 to 8 p.m. For more information, call 587-1190.
