“Gotta Dance” Studio opened its doors on September 15, 2001. Owner, Miss Terri as she is known by her students, starting dancing at the age of 5 and always dreamed, that one day, she would open her own studio. She continued taking dance classes and was also a member of a local community theatre group for many years. There she was able to learn and develop not only her love of dance, but also her love for music, singing and acting. The performing arts has always been a big part of Miss Terri's life. <br> Mr. Ron & Miss Terri decided the time had come for them to fulfill the life long “Dream” and together they started searching for the perfect place. Their hope was to find a small studio where students could come and learn to love dance & music while having fun in a friendly and safe environment. Today, they are very proud of their accomplishments and are extremely grateful to all the wonderful families who have touched their lives. Their goal is to continue with this very gratifying work and in the process make “Gotta Dance” Studio, for all the families who are a part of it, a place that will be remembered and remain forever close to their hearts!

When winter settles in and the city gets quiet, Jorday's Dance Studio becomes a warm creative hub where movement and passion take center stage. The studio's founder balances an intensive medical trajectory—currently wrapping up graduate work in pre-med studies while interning in cardiology at Parkway Hospital—with genuine commitment to building a dance community. Medical school applications to top programs are in motion, with plans to specialize in neonatal care and eventually cardiovascular surgery. What makes the studio special is how Jorday channels that same precision and discipline from her healthcare path into creating an engaging space for dancers. The studio thrives during these colder months when people seek indoor spaces to train and connect, offering continuity whether your goals are recreational or serious. It's the kind of place where you sense the instructor's intensity and dedication ripple through every class.
