Making a Pointe to Take New Leaps

Written by Jordan Dunn on . Posted in Business, Featured, News.

Looking for that perfect extracurricular opportunity for your little one? Have you been dancing for years and are looking for a new perspective? Lead instructor and owner Alexis Williams of Turning Pointe Dance Studio has the perfect place for you!

Located in Granville, New York, Turning Pointe Dance Studio offers a variety of classes for ages 2-18. Focusing on tap and ballet for youngsters (two to five years old), adding in Jazz for those in first grade and up, and finally offering pointe, hip hop, and Irish step for those further into their dancing journey, TPDS has a little bit for everyone. The studio even offers a parent and toddler class for those wishing to introduce their little ones to the magical world of dance!

Alexis Williams, a lifelong dancer, has been cultivating her love of the arts since the young age of 3 years old. Training in tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, pointe, and Irish dance throughout her career, it is safe to say that she is someone who has tried it all and has absolutely loved it. Williams, knowing for a long time that opening her own studio was a dream of hers, finally took the plunge and she couldn’t be happier with the results!

“What I learned from this experience above all else is to just take the leap! If I didn’t take the chance to follow this dream and open my own studio, I would never have realized the need in my own community for offerings like this,” said Williams.

Outside of the studio, Williams is a proud mother of an active 15-month-old. Williams said that she “hopes to instill the love of dance in her early on. Maybe one day even pass this place down to her. Time shall tell soon enough though, as I enroll her in the parent-toddler class this fall!”
