Dear Parents and Families,
This is one of the hardest messages I have ever had to share. After forty-two unforgettable years, Inwood Performing Arts will be closing its doors, and our studio home will soon be passed to Grace Church. I know this news comes at a difficult time—right at the start of the school year—and for that I am truly sorry. The timing was not in my control, and I deeply regret the sadness of this announcement. Please know that while our space will be changing, the spirit of Inwood lives on in each of your children. This studio has never been just about dance—it has always been about family, love, discipline, creativity, and growth. That spirit exists because of the special people who have walked this journey with us.
To our parents: thank you for your trust, your support, and your commitment to nurturing the arts in our community. This is not the end of your child’s story. It is simply a turning point in a beautiful book they are still writing. I encourage you and your dancers to leave with pride, with strength, and with the confidence to step boldly into new opportunities. There are teachers and programs out there who will be grateful for their passion and talent, and I hope you’ll continue to seek them out.
Though the studio doors may be closing, the legacy we’ve built together will echo for years to come. Your children are that legacy, and I could not be prouder.
With all my love and gratitude,
Miss Denna
