may open for you. We will notify you if the spot becomes available. Once classes begin, we might be able to open up another spot or two once we feel out the space in class and the personalities of the (younger) kids to see if we can add another.

A fun Miss Lori fact for those that don’t know.

As we hit year 30 of the dance studio, I started with the Butler Kickline in summer of 1993 as the Director /Choreographer at age 20. Soooooooo many memories especially in August when a new season kicked off. With the encouragement of my dance families, the thought of “you should open a dance studio came to fruition!! A couple years later I switched my major to dance & opened the studio in 1997. When I think of the talent & success of the football seasons leading to incredible competition seasons I blink & think where did time go?!?!

Truly blessed.

Pic popped up in my memories today of one of my groups 💜💛
