| Our Story |
| Allegro opened in
February of 1996. Tonya was
just 19 years old but had the support of many families which she had
been teaching since the age of 16. Classes
February through August 1996 consisted of just one studio room with
Tonya as the only instructor and 75 students.
September of 1996 brought new teachers, such as Karla, and a second dance room! Through the years the studio grew in leaps and bounds. A third studio room was added a few years later as well as the addition of our fabulous instructors. (It is a long process to find great instructors that share a similar vision. We are very thankful to have such dedicated instructors!)
Eventually, Tonya began going back to school to finish her Bachelor of Fine
Arts in Dance at It has been a complete blessing to have found a space so close to our original location and to have so much help from all of our Allegro families. Our minds are constantly swimming with ideas of how to use our larger space to benefit the community more, with classes such as special needs and in-house benefit shows. We
look forward to the years to come in our new beautiful space and
continuing to share our love of the performing arts with all that come
through our doors. |
