Friday Night Dances “Club Studio”
               Our weekly Club Style Ballroom events on weekends have been lots of fun and our oldest tradition of events. With our Club Style dances originating in 2001 at the Epicenter on 6th street and Broadway, we have continued the tradition and creating great memories through Club Sole, Matthews Café, Chico Creek, and now our amazing new facility on 7th and Wall Street.
                We are excited to announce we are switching our Saturday to Fridays!! This is great in many ways. Having dances on Fridays allows dancers to travel on Saturdays! Plus this change does something even more important, it allows us to accommodate Chico State Ballroom Club Students!!!
                CHICO STATE, you are invited! Due to some unfortunate changes in policy at CSUC the “CSU Ballroom Dance Club” will no longer be able to hold dances on campus. This is very sad. To support the students we are moving our dance from Saturdays to Fridays and offering a discount for all “CSUC Ballroom Dance Club Members”!! Times may change, but we will stay strong and keep dancing alive. Opening a dance studio six years ago was for this very reason, to provide a stable place for dancers. Studio One is a place where dancing comes first, it is not about the money or ego, it’s not about politics or who is the best dancer… it is about the community, the love of dance, and good positive entertainment.
 
                I ask for all of your support in Friday nights, it is a multi generational dance with all styles of dance and music.

                This transition will have challenges and take effort, but it is best for our community. Please spread the word and please join us for more great memories.

 
Dance Fitness
               The Studio is growing, and what better way to grow than to add “Dance Fitness!”  We have hired a new instructor with amazing energy, Lynda Grey. Lynda has many years of experience in Dance Fitness and is bringing some great classes to the Studio.

U-Jam Fitness- U-Jam Fitness is a cardio dance fitness program that unites world beats and urban flavor. The music will take you around the world from old school hip-hop to Bollywood with an athletic, intense cardio workout that makes you sweat, tones your body and leaves your body craving more!!

Zumba® Fitness –Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. It’s easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating, often building a deep-rooted community among returning students.

Balletone Sole Synthesis- When barefoot training meets strength, cardio and flexibility in one workout, fitness takes on a whole new meaning. Sole Synthesis is “simplicity through triplicity” … no fancy moves here, the idea is to simply use a movement you’ve done for ages and transform it seamlessly in three different ways with ONE outcome – a proactive workout rooted in functional training that will leave you strong, centered, and actively flexible from the ground up. This workout will focus on how to seamlessly combine various disciplines (fitness, ballet, yoga).

X-Quisyte
                Another exciting expansion to Studio One is our newsiest team, X-Quisyte dance team! X-Quisyte has joined the studio and we are holding auditions Saturday Feb 18th for Ladies 18 and older. If you love Hip Hop, or want more chances to perform, come try out!
                X-Quisyte Mission Statement:
                It shall be the purpose of X-Quisyte to provide a dance outlet for women to express their creativity and love of performing. X-Quisyte encourages diversity and all styles of dance. We strive to promote unity among the community, and to form strong friendships within our organization. X-Quisyte helps members to learn the importance of teamwork and leadership by giving members an opportunity to choreograph. X-Quisyte is an all-female multicultural advanced dance group designed to also expand its members’ talent and passion for the art.

West Coast level 3 with John Piper
               West Coast Swing is in high gear at Studio One, and we are very excited to restructure our program. With the addition of John Piper as our weekly instructor every Thursday, we now have more of an opportunity to advance students through a three part class instruction that will more efficiently progress students from beginning to advanced! Plus, Matthew Taylor will be joining Kylee Zimmerman in teaching WCS level 1.
