The following message was received from Darcie Star regarding the future of “All That Dance”:
Dear beloved dance community,
Last night after class I got a bomb dropped on me. Robert Reed Tap
Heritage who is also housed under ALL THAT DANCE notified me
that they wanted to take the studio in another direction that did not
include Ballroom dance.
Crestwood mall and the Regional Arts Comission (RAC) now must
decide who gets the space. If you have seen it, you know how
beautifully suited it is for ballroom dance, if you haven’t, check out
the pics below. The tap company has a dance floor that they could
easily install in another location within the mall. They do not use
mirrors, they do not need large open space. If they win the space
occupancy the dance community loses a great place to dance, and I
lose my income source, and ability to serve you.
PROJECT SAVING STARDANCE:
Please have your voice heard and support this dance space by
emailing and/or calling Crestwood mall and RAC and stating that you
are in favor of stardance, inc. remaining in artspace #123 ask anyone
you know to also email or call, the more the better. Thank you! Thank
you! Thank you!

A few of the club members recently appeared you KSDK’s Show Me St. Louis to talk a bit about the club and show off some of their skills. You can read the write-up on KSDK’s web site by clicking here, and see the video below:
