Rodrigo, Wendy and The Dance Loft

Gallery

Stage dips, street shoots, class nights and a very clean wood floor. These are the pictures we would want to see before walking into a new studio ourselves.

The portraits are of the owners, Rodrigo and Wendy Jimenez, who also teach most of the classes. The group shots are the students who fill the room on class nights, and the floor photos show the studio itself: the same space described on the studio and rentals page. Two pictures near the bottom come from a ballroom where the instructors have taught, so we have captioned them as that and nothing more.

To find out who the two people in most of these frames are, read the story of Rodrigo and Wendy. For the nights where these photos get taken, socials and workshops are the place to start.
