Renee Hoffler, the owner and founder of Ballet Tap and All that Jazz is determined to train up the next generation of professional ballerinas. She noticed that The Gateway was missing a studio that specifically catered to grooming ballerinas in the proper technique, and says, “I’m a trained dancer… I know trained dancing; I know what technically trained dancing should be…one thing I know I can do is train a ballet dancer… I feel like if you can do that you can do anything, it doesn’t work the opposite direction…” Ballet Tap and All that Jazz recently entered into a partnership with The Debbie Allen Dance Academy in Los Angeles. Both studios are working together to raise scholarship monies for two ballerinas from Ballet Tap and All that Jazz to travel and study at the academy next summer.
