““Histown has changed my life over the five years I danced there! I have made some of my best friends there, and I have grown so much, physically and spiritually. The teachers pushed me and helped me become the dancer that I never thought I could be, but they also poured their own experiences into us, and became our mentors and friends. Histown is truly my second family and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to dance there because it is so much more than just a dance studio to me. It gave me support and love every time I walked through the door. Thank you Histown!”
