NEW Dance Arts' Opens Full Time Tremont Studio Location!
by Regina Pietraroia 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Dance Arts brings Ballet to Tremont Neighborhood Since moving to her first apartment on Professor Avenue in 2010, local professional dancer Regina Pietraroia has dreamt of bringing a studio to the area. On a bike ride during the long months of Covid-quarantine, she passed a building that sparked a sense of possibility on the corner of West 5th and Jefferson. Three weeks later, when the storefront windows were revealed, she knew it was time to make the call. Dance Arts has had a studio location in North Royalton for four years, where dancers of all ages study with professional instructors and have the opportunity to perform at a variety of venues around Northeast Ohio. Prior to opening her school, Regina performed professionally with several companies in the area, including Ohio Dance Theatre. She continued to perform as a freelance artist, until Covid-19 cancelled all of her spring and summer shows...but it was that added downtime that allowed Ms. Pietraroia to notice this incredible opportunity. Pietraroia began teaching dance in the Tremont neighborhood in 2012, under the name “Miss Regina’s Ballerinas.” Over the years, her classes have served families from all over the near west side of Cleveland, and the city of Lakewood. As the areas of Ohio City, Detroit-Shoreway, and Tremont have all continued to develop, Ms. Pietraroia sees there is a real need for more family-oriented activities, and hopes her new studio can provide a place for the community to safely come together. Ms. Pietraroia is excited about contributing to the vibrant scene of artists in the neighborhood she calls home. The Tremont studio, *located at 2431 W. 5th St., * will be hosting an Open House event on Saturday, August 29th, from 1-6 p.m. Families are invited to stop by to check out the facility and register for fall classes. There will be free sample classes for kids at 2:00 and 3:00 (space is limited, pre-registration required). At 7 p.m., a live performance will be streamed from the location. All attendees will be expected to wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines. For more information, contact Regina at 440-230-9018 or DanceArtsbyRegina(a)gmail.com, or visit the website danceartsbyregina.com. *Regina Pietraroia* *Artistic Director**, Dance Arts by Regina* *North Royalton: *10670 Royalton Road | N Royalton, OH 44133 | 440-230-9018 *Cleveland/Tremont: *2431 W. 5th Street | Cleveland, OH 44113 www.danceartsbyregina.com Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/danceartsbyregina> and Instagram <http://www.instagram.com/danceartsbyregina>
