Tatem Varner, graduate of Paulding High School and resident of Oakwood, opened a dance studio in October of this year. The dance studio is located at 113 N 1st St in the former Oakwood Eye Care facility.
Growing up a dancer, Varner was in jazz, tap, ballet, and pointe at Dance Dolls in Antwerp. Dance Dolls is where she found her passion for dancing and learned to master the fundamentals. Varner shared, “Opening a dance studio has always been a dream of mine. Watching the studio that I grew up at close in May was hard. I decided now was the time to open my own. It was a quick decision, but it was such a good one to make! My students and their families are great. I’m glad they trust me to help their kids learn the love of dance.”
Oakwood Dance Studio classes are open to children ages 3-12 in ballet and jazz. Varner also offers toddler classes for children ages 2-3. To learn more about Oakwood Dance Studio, check them out on Facebook or call 419-438-5425.
