We've Changed Our Name!
We are proud to announce that Santa Rosa Dance Theater is now Dance Evolution Studios.
This name reflects a deeper commitment to our mission: to evolve the world of dance into a healthier, more sustainable art form. One grounded in science, supported by education, and driven by compassion. As a studio founded by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and shaped by evidence-based practice, we believe that dancers deserve training that protects their bodies, supports their growth, and honors their individuality.
But Dance Evolution isn’t just about technique, It’s about the human journey. We are committed to evolving not only as artists but as people. Our studio is a space for growth, self-discovery, and resilience, where discipline is paired with empathy and excellence is pursued without harm.
Dance is evolving. And so are we.
Welcome to Dance Evolution Studios.
