Celebrating our 40th Birthday!
The very first class was held at the Village Dance Studio on September 6, 1977. Classes all week (Sept. 5-10) will celebrate the birthday as well, but we'll include extra fun on Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017. The Village Dance Studio (VDS) began exactly 40 years ago with the first class being held in the Village (downtown Zionsville) on September 6, 1977. We began our 40th season with an open house and start of classes in August, but will be celebrating all year throughout many new events and dance outreach opportunities. The most exciting celebration for our 40th year will be a Birthday party during classes on Wednesday, Sept. 6. While all classes throughout the week will have extra excitement, we wanted to give an extra highlight the very first day that classes began. Cake (of course!), balloons, hallway decorations, photo opportunities, a trip down “memory lane”, and more will be highlights of our birthday party.
40 years ago the enrollment began with 78 students, 1 instructor (Pettigrew), and was located above the old Zionsville Theatre (65 E. Cedar). There were no bathrooms, no heat, no air conditioning, no mirrors, and no running water. The approximately 1000 square foot studio had a tin stamped ceiling and took many weeks and late night to clean up for dance classes. Now, 40 years later (and the 4th location) VDS is located above the Boys & Girls Club West with over 250 students, 12 staff members, 7 styles of dance offered, and 38 hours of dancing each week.
