The mission of the BlackBox Studios is to provide high quality dance training in an inclusive space. Artists of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, gender identities, orientations, races, and body types are welcome!
Students receive instruction from teachers who are both professional dancers and experienced teachers. High quality dance training teaches students how to dance both technically and artistically, and also builds critical thinking skills, team work, dedication, and confidence.
Recitals are a wonderful way for students to share their technical progress and express their artistry. Thank you for being here to support your dancer!
Owned and operated by Theresa Knudson, BlackBox Studios offers dance classes (both in person & Zoom), private lessons, studio rental, and is home to professional dance companies Halcyon Dance Project and Ballet22.
BlackBox Studios opened in the Spring of 2021. This is the studio’s third recital! Thank you for your support!
