We have two locations: our central location is at The Smiley Building, in the three Move Studios, and The Treehouse off Junction Street in Durango, CO.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power. It is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

— Agnes De Mille
