Studio School learns dance from renown dance company

This February, to celebrate Black History Month, students at The Studio School held a dance performance in their cafeteria for families and staff under the instruction of the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Academy.

Students across multiple grades spent the week learning about different dance styles and their relationships with Black History Month.

Students learned about: West African Dance, Hip Hop, Jazz, Zumba, and Contemporary from members of the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble.

Congratulations to the students at The Studio School for their great performances and The Studio School community for raising the funds for experiences like this!
